Call for Participation

We invite you to take part in one of the following competitions:

  1. Plagiarism Detection
    This task features a new plagiarism corpus based on the ClueWeb09, the new search engine ChatNoir which indexes this corpus, the cloud-based evaluation architecture TIRA, and for the first time, real plagiarism cases.
  2. Author Identification
    This task focuses on identifying sexual predators in chat logs, and on authorship verification. For the first time, real cases of disputed authorship will be used.
  3. Quality Flaw Prediction in Wikipedia
    This task is newly introduced a generalization of vandalism detection; it is about identifying Wikipedia articles that contain certain information quality flaws.
