I2E Healthcare Hackathon
This year we are introducing the first-ever I2E Healthcare Hackathon for I2E users who are mining clinical and EHR data.
One of the most common challenges in extracting information from medical transcripts is making sense of the context within which a disease term, for example, occurs. Does a reference to diabetes refer to a current diagnosis, a family history or a hypothesis that was discounted? These are challenges that I2E is frequently used to handle and an area that Linguamatics customers are always keen to know more about.
The I2E Healthcare Hackathon will address these challenges and requires participants to extract and classify disease terms, plus medications and dosages if time allows. An unannotated set of medical transcripts will be provided to participants to evaluate and build queries against. This set will have been pre-indexed with appropriate disease and medication ontologies, plus any I2E macros and region detection preprocessing that the data set requires.
A small set of example medical transcripts and annotations will be provided to participants to demonstrate how results should appear. An annotated test data set will be used to assess each team’s efforts and with the results being submitted at the end of the day.
Participants will be split into two teams, each with a Linguamatics coach to provide guidance and assistance on best practice.
Hands-on Training Workshops
The Text Mining Summit includes hands-on training opportunities across all experience levels. Check out the 12 workshops offered this year.
Roundtable Discussions

Past comments
“One of the best summits and training sessions I have ever attended. The pioneering NLP efforts, and users responsiveness is unmatched by any other text mining (NLP) vendor. The Linguamatics approach & I2E system is relatively intuitive, easy to manage, powerful and useful.”
"Both workshops were very useful. I enjoyed the interactive format"
"This is such a great meeting, it's so good to hear from other people all the different ways in which they're using I2E"
“I have been going to conferences for 15 years and this one is the best one”
"Congrats on a great user meeting - the talks were quite excellent."
"Extremely useful conference."
