[CFP] 1st Call for Participation - Scholarly Hybrid Question Answering Challenge @ ISWC 2024

[apologies if you received multiple copies of this call]

Respected peers,

We are pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the Scholarly QALD Challenge
collocated with The International Semantic Web Conference 2024.

This year, we introduce a more challenging task of Hybrid-QA, which will
require participants to query multiple sources of knowledge to fetch the
right answer for a given question. The domain of the challenge remains
scholarly data, however unlike last year, participants will have to find
the answers from multiple textual sources (e.g., Wikipedia) and Knowledge
Graphs (e.g., DBLP. OpenAlex).

The participants are required to upload their answers to the Codalab
platform, which will automatically evaluate their submissions.
