Abstract

Display Omitted Capstone shared task for 8years of i2b2 challenges. Co-organized with UTHealth.Four tracks: de-identification, risk factor extraction, software usability, and novel data use.Participation from around the world, from academia and industry.Data sets available for research beyond the lifetime of i2b2, at i2b2.org/NLP.
