<br>
<br>The results will be presented at the CL4Health <a href="https://callforpaper.org/categories/workshop-1" title="Browse Workshop call for papers" rel="follow" aria-label="View more Workshop call for papers" class="!text-inherit !font-normal !underline decoration-dotted decoration-slate-400/60 underline-offset-4 cursor-pointer hover:decoration-slate-900 dark:hover:decoration-slate-100 transition-colors">Workshop</a>, co-located with the NAACL 2025 conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The publication venue for system descriptions will be the proceedings of the CL4Health workshop, also co-published in the ACL anthology.
<br>
<br>== TASK DESCRIPTION ==
<br>Healthcare CQA forums provide diverse user perspectives, from personal experiences to factual advice and suggestions. However, traditional summarization approaches often overlook this richness by focusing on a single best-voted answer. The PerAnsSumm shared task seeks to address this gap with two main challenges:
<br>
<br>* Task A: Identifying and classifying perspective-specific spans in CQA answers.
<br>* Task B: Generating structured, perspective-specific summaries for the entire question-answer thread.
<br>
<br>This task aims to build tools that provide users with concise summaries catering to varied informational needs.
<br>
<br>== DATA ==
<br>Participants will be provided with:
