The BioASQ challenge consists of two different tasks (Task 6a and Task 6b).

If you are interested in any of the following areas:
* Large-scale and hierarchical classification
* Machine learning
* Semantic Indexing, semantic similarity

then you may want to participate in BioASQ Task 6a (large-scale biomedical semantic indexing).
More information at http://bioasq.org/participate/challenges#Task6a

If you are interested in any of the following areas:
* Question answering from unstructured and structured data
* Single and multi-document summarization
* Information retrieval and passage retrieval
