102 - Biomedical NLP research at the National Institute of Health with Dina Demner-Fushman

What exciting NLP research problems are involved in processing
biomedical and clinical data? In this episode, we spoke with Dina
Demner-Fushman, who leads NLP and IR research at the Lister Hill
National Center for Biomedical Communications, part of the National
Library of Medicine. We talked about processing biomedical
scientific literature, understanding clinical notes, and answering
consumer health questions, and the challenges involved in each of
these applications. Dina listed some specific tasks and relevant
data sources for NLP researchers interested in such applications,
and concluded with some pointers to getting started in this field.
