The DeST team of the first edition of the BioASQ MESINESP task was composed of the LASIGE researchers André Neves, André Lamúrias and Francisco Couto working on project DeST (https://dest.rd.ciencias.ulisboa.pt/). The task was an international competition with the goal of automatically indexing biomedical Spanish articles with structured medical vocabulary (DeCS terms).

The full results for that task are available here: http://participants-area.bioasq.org/results/MESINESP/. The team submitted four system variants, namely LasigeBioTM TXMC F1, LasigeBioTM TXMC P and X-BERT BioASQ, and X-BERT BioASQ F1. The first achieved the second best value for the evaluation measures EBP (Example Based Precision), MaP (mean average precision) and MIP (micro precision).
