Workshop FAQs

Q: When is the workshop?
A: Sat 16 May 9:00am - 1:00pm CEST (UTC+2)

Q: Is there food and drink?
A: LREC provides coffee 10:30am - 11:00am during the Poster Session, but no lunch is provided following the workshop at 1:00pm.

Q: Do authors need to register for the workshop in order to have their papers included in the proceedings?
A: Per LREC policy: for all papers, regardless of presentation mode, at least one author of the paper must be registered. Failure to comply with the registration requirement will result in cancellation of the paper presentation and elimination of the paper from the conference proceedings.

Q: How do I participate?
A: Participants must register for each workshop. For remote attendance, the Zoom link is shared only with remote registered participants. For in-person attendance, the badge shows all the items that have been purchased.

Q: What are the requirements for attending and presenting a poster?
A: To present a poster, you should attend in person. Posters must be in portrait orientation, as boards are 90 cm × 150 cm and cannot accommodate landscape formats. Printing your poster in A0 portrait size (84.1 cm × 118.9 cm) is recommended. For full details, see the author kit: https://lrec2026.info/authors-kit/

Q: Can I get my poster printed at the conference site?
A: It is possible to get posters printed in Mallorca by sending the poster file before Monday, May 4, 2026 (non-negotiable deadline) to jmmilian@impresrapit.com. The email must include full billing details (name, address, ID/passport number) and delivery details (LREC26 Conference – Congress Center). The price for printing an A0 poster is €35.20 + VAT. Printing will only begin once full payment has been received. The printing company will contact you directly with payment instructions.

Closed: April 2–12

Your printed poster will be delivered to the conference venue and will be available at the registration desk on May 11. Given all this, we strongly recommend bringing your poster already printed, as this is the safest option.

Q: Is online poster presentation possible?
A: According to LREC policies, remote participants are allowed to present oral presentations only, while poster presentations must be given in person. However, accepted papers will still appear in the proceedings if at least one author is registered (either in-person or remote). If you are unable to attend in person, you may pre-record a <10 minute presentation of your work and send us a QR code linking to it by May 1st. We can display this QR code alongside the other posters.

Shared Tasks

• MEDIQA-EVAL: Evaluating Metrics for Multimodal Question Answering: In this multimodal evaluation task, participants assign quality scores to model-generated answers for patient questions that are paired with one or multiple clinical images. The dataset includes both English and Chinese questions and answers, along with structured metadata such as anatomical location and wound type. Each system answer is independently rated by clinical experts along three dimensions: overall quality, factual accuracy, and completeness.

• MEDIQA-SYNUR: Extracting Clinical Observations from Nurse Dictations: This shared task focuses on extracting and normalizing clinical observations from conversational transcripts and mapping them to a large ontology of clinical concepts. Participants will be evaluated on a curated and validated benchmark of nurse dictations generated through a controlled multi-agent simulation pipeline. Gold-standard annotations were produced by expert nurses using an open-source, large-scale clinical ontology.
