We are pleased to welcome to the DDIExtraction 2011 workshop (First Challenge Task
on Drug-Drug Interaction Extraction) being held in Huelva, Spain on September 7 and
co-located with the 27th Conference of the Spanish Society for Natural Language
Processing, SEPLN 2011. On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to
thank you for your participation and hope you enjoy the workshop.

The detection of DDI is an important research area in patient safety since these
interactions can become very dangerous and increase health care costs. Although
there are different databases supporting health care professionals in the detection of
DDI, these databases are rarely complete, since their update periods can reach three
years. Drug interactions are frequently reported in journals of clinical pharmacology
and technical reports, making medical literature the most effective source for the
detection of DDI. Thus, the management of DDI is a critical issue due to the
overwhelming amount of information available on them.

Information Extraction (IE) can be of great benefit in the pharmaceutical industry
allowing identification and extraction of relevant information on DDI and providing an
interesting way of reducing the time spent by health care professionals on reviewing
the literature. Moreover, the development of tools for automatically extracting DDI is
essential for improving and updating the drug knowledge databases. Most
investigation has focused on biological relationships (genetic and protein interactions
(PPI)) due mainly to the availability of annotated corpora in the biological domain,
facilitating the evaluation of approaches. Few approaches have focused on the
extraction of DDIs.

The DDIExtraction (Extraction of drug-drug interactions) task focuses on the extraction
of drug-drug interactions from biomedical texts and aims to promote the development
of text mining and information extraction systems applied to the pharmacological
domain in order to reduce time spent by the health care professionals reviewing the
literature for potential drug-drug interactions. Our main goal is to have a benchmark
for the comparison of advanced techniques, rather than competitive aspects.

We would like to thank all the participating teams for submitting their runs and
panelists for presenting their work. We also acknowledge all the members of the
program committee for providing their support in reviewing contributions. Finally, we
would like to thank to Universidad de Huelva, especially the organizers of the SEPLN
2011 conference and all the people that help us to make this workshop possible.

The DDIExtraction 2011 Workshop was partially supported by MA2VICMR consortium
(S2009/TIC-1542) and MULTIMEDICA research project (TIN2010-20644-C03-01).
