BioASQ - Task ELCardioCC: Clinical Coding of Greek Cardiology Discharge Letters
The ELCardioCC 2026 shared task concerns the automatic assignment of cardiology-related ICD-10 codes to hospital discharge letters at the document level. The task can be approached in two ways: either by combining Named En- tity Recognition (NER) and Entity Linking (EL) techniques, or by formulating it as a multi-label classification (MLC) problem. To support both directions, we introduce a mixed dataset consisting of 1,500 documents annotated at both the document and mention level, suitable for NER+EL approaches, and 3,500 doc- uments annotated only at the document level, intended for MLC approaches. In total, the dataset comprises 5,000 documents for training and development and 1,000 documents for testing.
