You are invited to participate in an international data mining
challenge. 

The goal is to assign all relevant codes (called ICD-9-CM codes)
to short clinical free texts. 
The Challenge provides an opportunity for research groups to test
the applicability of their natural language processing and machine
learning algorithms on real medical text data.

Challenge organizers include Cincinnati Children's Hospital
Medical Center Division of Biomedical Informatics, the University
of Cincinnati, Department of Radiology, Ohio State University's
Department of Linguistics, Nicolaus Copernicus University, and the
Center for Computational Pharmacology at the 
University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. 

The Challenge is partly funded by an Ohio Third Frontier, Wright
Center of Innovation grant.
