Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to this Special Issue on Information Retrieval in Health.
This Special Issue is devoted to the application of information retrieval (IR) in the context of health. New contributions to improve the current state of the art in this field are welcomed. Papers can address issues about the application of IR techniques to develop specific solutions for facilitating the work of physicians, to fulfil the information needs of users suffering from a disease, or to provide comprehensive information on illnesses to Internet users. Contributions may concern a wide variety of techniques including but not limited to the following: solutions based on any machine-learning (ML) technique (such as traditional ML models, deep-learning techniques or explainable artificial-intelligence methodologies), word-embedding representations, the use of ontologies or ontology dictionaries, statistical techniques, etc.
The Special Issue is open for the publication of experimental work, properly validated designs for solutions, theoretical studies or state-of-the-art review papers.
