Call for evaluation tasks for the 8th China Conference on Health Information Processing (CHIP 2022)

The China Health Information Processing Conference is organized and undertaken by the Biological and Medical Information Processing Professional Committee of the Chinese Information Society of China. It is one of the most important academic conferences in the field of health information processing in China. It has been successfully held for seven sessions so far. China Health Information Processing Conference has become a core conference in the fields of medical, health and biological information processing and knowledge mining in China, bringing together scholars, researchers and industrial R&D personnel in the fields of medical informatics, health informatics and bioinformatics. Since CHIP2018, the meeting has added evaluation tasks. CHIP2018 set up 2 evaluation tasks and got off to a good start. CHIP 2019 has set up 3 evaluation tasks and attracted more than 200 participating teams. CHIP 2020 has set up 6 evaluation tasks, attracting more than 1,000 people to participate. CHIP2021 has set up 3 evaluation tasks, and more than 100 institutions have participated, including universities, research institutes, hospitals and corporate institutions.

CHIP 2022 will continue to organize evaluation competitions related to medical, health and biological information processing and knowledge mining, aiming to provide researchers with a platform for testing technologies, algorithms, and systems. Teams with excellent results will receive honorary certificates and bonuses issued by the special committee. The evaluation organizer will be invited to write an overview paper, and the evaluation winning team will be invited to write a technical paper. These papers will be reviewed and guided by experts organized by the special committee and published in core Chinese journals.
