Abstract
The eHealth initiative of the Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum (CLEF) has aimed since 2012 to
provide researchers working on health text analytics with annual workshops, shared development challenges and tasks, benchmark
datasets, and software for processing and evaluation. In 2012, it ran as a scientific workshop with the aim of establishing an
evaluation lab, and since 2013, this annual workshop has been supplemented with 3 or more preceding labs each year. An evaluation
lab is an activity where the participating individuals or teams’ goal is to solve the same problem, typically using the same dataset
in a given time frame. The overall purpose of this initiative is to support patients, their next of kin, clinical staff, health scientists,
and health care policy makers in accessing, understanding, using, and authoring health information in a multilingual setting. In
the CLEF eHealth 2013 to 2017 installations, the aim was to address patient-centric text processing. From 2015, the scope was
also extended to aid both patients’ understanding and clinicians’ authoring of various types of medical content. CLEF eHealth
2017 introduced a new pilot task on technology-assisted reviews (TARs) in empirical medicine in order to support health scientists
and health care policymakers’ information access.
