ABSTRACT
BioNLP, also known as biomedical language processing or biomedical text mining, is the application of natural language processing techniques to biomedical data. The biomedical domain presents a number of unique data types and tasks, but simultaneously has many aspects that are of interest to the “mainstream” natural language processing community. Additionally, there are ethical issues in BioNLP that necessitate an attention to software quality assurance beyond the normal attention (or lack thereof) that is paid to it in the mainstream academic NLP community.
