Overview of CHIP 2026 Shared Task 1: Patient-Specific Phenotype Concept Recognition in Full-Text Biomedical Literature

Key points

• Automatic phenotype information extraction plays an important role in rare disease diagnosis, genotype-phenotype analysis, and precision medicine.1
• However, accurately identifying phenotype concepts and determining their associations with specific patients remain challenging, particularly in full-text biomedical articles involving multiple patients and complex clinical descriptions.1
• The task consists of two subtasks: full-text phenotype concept recognition and patient-specific phenotype association.1
• For this evaluation, we used 200 annotated full-text biomedical articles from the PatientPheX dataset, containing 506 patients, 15,193 phenotype mentions, and 5,656 patient-phenotype associations.1
