Report on the SIGIR 2016 Workshop on Medical Information Retrieval (MedIR)
Abstract
The workshop on Medical Information Retrieval took place at SIGIR 2016 in Pisa, Italy on July 21. The workshop programme included seven oral presentations of refereed papers, four posters and an invited keynote presentation. This allowed time for lively discussions among the 27 participants. These made clear the significant and diverse challenges in the area of medical information retrieval and the significant interest in developing mechanisms to go about tackling them. Successfully addressing them will give added value to the wide variety of users that can profit from medical information search, including patients, general health professionals and specialist groups such as radiologists who mainly search for images and image-related information.
