Overview of the Health Search and Data Mining (HSDM 2020) Workshop

Carsten Eickhoff, Yubin Kim, Ryen W. White

Abstract: We present HSDM, a full-day workshop on Health Search and Data Mining co-located with WSDM 2020's Health Day. This event builds on recent biomedical workshops in the NLP and ML communities but puts a clear emphasis on search and data mining (and their intersection) that is lacking in other venues. The program will include two keynote addresses by key opinion leaders in the clinical, search, and data mining domains. The technical program consists of 6 original research presentations. Finally, we will close with a panel discussion with keynote speakers, PC members, and the audience. This workshop aims to help consolidate the growing interest in biomedical applications of data-driven methods that becomes apparent all over the search and data mining spectrum, in WSDM's spirit of collaboration between industry and academia.
