Clinical Text De-identification Hackathon

A focused 2-day hackathon on clinical text de-identification will be held in Manchester, UK on the 17-18th of November. Building on a set of established algorithms such as ChristieDEID and ElasticGazetteer we aim to extend current requirements, design, and development. This community-driven event will work towards releasing a robust and scalable open source software for clinical text de-identification.

We encourage researchers, developers, and natural language processing engineers to apply to join this event by sending us a statement of motivation and CV to contact@healtex.org. We aim to fund travel, sleeping bags 🙂 and food expenses. This event will be restricted to 4-5 participants.
