Registering at BioASQ website

[parvathysarat]

Hello, I see it mentioned that I need to register at BioASQ website to authorize use the QA datasets which are freely open for download. Wondering if that was a part of the BioASQ Challenge and if I do not need to register on the site anymore?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
My apologies for the delay in response.

(As part of a discussion with BioASQ organizers,) We (authors) need to ask users to sign up for the BioASQ website to agree with the terms and conditions for the BioASQ dataset. This is a requirement for distributing our (reformatted) dataset.

According to the BioASQ website, they require a sign-up for downloading the datasets.

Attention: Note that only registered users can download the training set. You can register to the BioASQ challenge here.

Thank you for your interest in our paper and sorry for the delay once again.
Best,
WonJin
