We are happy to invite you to participate in the GutBrainIE @ CLEF 2025 Task, part of the BioASQ Lab 2025.
This challenge focuses on extracting structured information from biomedical abstracts related to the gut microbiota and its connections with Parkinson's disease and mental health. It aims to foster the development of Information Extraction (IE) systems that can support experts in understanding the gut-brain interplay.
