Informatics Virtual Journal Club showing Thursday, April 4.

The John Crerar Library is pleased to host a showing of the monthly Informatics Journal Club. This month’s article “Towards comprehensive syntactic and semantic annotations of the clinical narrative” will be broadcast on Thursday April 4, 2013 from 2pm to 3pm in the Kathleen Zar room. Guergana Savova, Ph.D of Harvard Medical School will be online to discuss the article which takes a foundational step towards bringing the field of clinical Natural Language Processing (NLP) up to par with NLP in the general domain. The corpus creation and NLP components provide a resource for research and application development that would have been previously impossible.

All are welcome to attend. For further information please contact Vedana Vaidhyanathan at 773-702-8774 or vedana@uchicago.edu.
