We examine the relationship between HCI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) by performing a bibliometric analysis and looking at the specific example of BioNLP. We identify opportunities for HCI to fertilise current NLP research and suggest that HCI will benefit from looking at advances in NLP more closely. Keywords Bibliometric analysis, literature review, BioNLP. ACM Classification Keywords I.2.7 Natural Language Processing. H.5.0. Information interfaces and presentation (e.g., HCI): General.
