The mailing list archives are now the place to find pointers to conferences and articles.

October 7th, 2004: Here are two papers from the most recent issue of the IBM Systems Journal, Vol. 43, No. 3, 2004:

September 18th, 2004: This link to some PAKDD 2004 papers on Biomedical Mining contains the titles/authors/abstracts of six papers presented there. The information below was kindly gathered by and contributed by Oriane Matte-Tailliez.

February 2nd, 2004: A lengthy review, "Mining the Biomedical Literature in the Genomic Era: An Overview" by H. Shatkay and R. Feldman appeared in the December 2003 issue of the Journal of Computational Biology, 10 (3) 821-855. A PDF of the paper from Shatkay's site, which she describes as "A somewhat modified preprint version" is available as a PDF file here.

NLP papers from the PSB, ACL and ISMB conferences/workshops:

A 2002 review by Mandell and Majoros on Genomics and NLP: A copy of their paper appeared on the Web but is copyright by the Nature Publishing Group. Use with care. Here is a copy cached on the bionlp.org site. (Posted 7/20/2003)
