OKE 2017 - Open Knowledge Extraction Challenge

https://project-hobbit.eu/challenges/oke2017-challenge-eswc-2017/
OKE-contact@googlegroups.com

May 28th to June 1st 2017, Portoroz, Slovenia

in conjunction with the 14th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2017)
http://2017.eswc-conferences.org/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The aim of this challenge is to test the performance of knowledge 
extraction systems in
aspects that are relevant for the Semantic Web. These include precision, 
recall and
runtime. The challenge will test the systems against data derived from 
real datasets.
We herewith invite system developers to participate in the 
aforementioned tasks.
The system developers are invited to write papers (5 page documents) 
presenting their
results on the training data (see important dates below). To ensure that 
the system
results are comparable, we will provide the HOBBIT benchmarking platform 
for the
generation of the final results to be included into the system 
publications.
A specification of the hardware on which the benchmarks will be ran will 
be released
in due course.

This year, the challenge comprises the following tasks:
-Task 1: Focused Named Entity Identification and Linking
-Task 2: Broader Named Entity Identification and Linking
-Task 3: Focused Musical  Named Entity Recognition and Linking
-Task 4: Knowledge Extraction
