<br>
<br>
May 28th to June 1st 2017, Portoroz, Slovenia<br>
<br>
in conjunction with the 14th European Semantic Web Conference
(ESWC 2017)<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<br>
<br>
The aim of this challenge is to test the performance of
knowledge extraction systems in<br>
aspects that are relevant for the Semantic Web. These include
precision, recall and<br>
runtime. The challenge will test the systems against data
derived from real datasets.<br>
We herewith invite system developers to participate in the
aforementioned tasks.<br>
The system developers are invited to write papers (5 page
documents) presenting their<br>
results on the training data (see important dates below). To
ensure that the system<br>
results are comparable, we will provide the HOBBIT benchmarking
platform for the <br>
generation of the final results to be included into the system
publications. <br>
A specification of the hardware on which the benchmarks will be
ran will be released<br>
in due course.<br>
<br>
This year, the challenge comprises the following tasks:<br>
-Task 1: Focused Named Entity Identification and Linking<br>
-Task 2: Broader Named Entity Identification and Linking<br>
-Task 3: Focused Musical Named Entity Recognition and Linking<br>
-Task 4: Knowledge Extraction<br>
<br>
