Call for Participation: CoLiE at ICDAR'25
by Hugo Sousa 08 Jan '25

08 Jan '25

Apologies for cross-posting Call for Participation: ICDAR 2025 Competition on Automatic Classification of Literary Epochs (CoLiE) We are pleased to announce the ICDAR 2025 Competition on Automatic Classification of Literary Epochs (CoLiE), which aims to push the boundaries of temporal text analysis by challenging participants to develop state-of-the-art methods for dating literary texts. The competition focuses on leveraging natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval (IR) techniques to predict the time periods in which texts were written. Overview The CoLiE competition offers two main tasks to address temporal classification and the understanding of historical texts: Task 1: Literary Epochs Classification Competition Page: Task 1 <https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/icdar-2025-ColiE_Task1> This task focuses on classifying texts based on literary epochs and their subdivisions: Sub-task 1.1: Classification of texts into six major literary epochs: Classicism (1660-1798) Romanticism (1798-1837) Victorian Literature (1837-1901) Modernism (1900-1945) Postmodernism (1945-2000) Contemporary (from 2000) Sub-task 1.2: Classification of texts into epoch subdivisions: Early: First quarter of the epoch Middle: Middle half of the epoch Late: Final quarter of the epoch Note: Epoch lengths vary, with Classicism, Romanticism, Victorian Literature, Modernism, and Postmodernism divided into three periods, while Contemporary has only two periods. Task 2: ChronoText Classification Competition Page: Task 2 <https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/icdar-2025-ColiE_Task2> This task addresses temporal granularity: Sub-task 2.1: Identifying the century of origin for a given text. Sub-task 2.2: Pinpointing the specific decade within that century when the text was composed. Participation We invite researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts from the IR and NLP communities to participate in this exciting competition. Important Dates December 17, 2024: Competition website live. Training and validation sets with labels available. April 1, 2025: Test dataset available. April 8, 2025: Competition deadline. May 1, 2025: Submission of competition reports. May 16, 2025: Camera-ready paper submission. June 30, 2025: Winners announced. September 17-21, 2025: Results presented at the ICDAR conference. How to Participate Visit our website: https://colie.pro/ Familiarize yourself with the tasks, rules, datasets, and evaluation metrics. Submit your results through the Kaggle platform.

LLM & Annotation: Community Survey
by Paulina Żelewska 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

Exploring the Future of AI in Linguistic Annotation As part of a research initiative for the course "Conceptual Foundations of Artificial Intelligence" at Adam Mickiewicz University, this survey investigates the scientific community's perspectives on the potential consequences of using large language models (LLMs) in annotating complex linguistic phenomena. The findings will inform the development of research tools for future studies. Your insights are invaluable in understanding the challenges and opportunities associated with LLM-driven annotation, particularly in areas requiring deep contextual and linguistic comprehension, such as bias identification and discourse analysis. The survey is brief, taking approximately 5–10 minutes. Participation is entirely voluntary and anonymous. By completing the survey, you consent to the use of your responses solely for aggregated statistical analyses and the preparation of a research report. 📋 Survey Link: https://forms.office.com/e/1wj9ytKDsE 📆 Deadline: 12.02.2025 Why Your Participation Matters This study addresses nuanced linguistic issues often overlooked in classic NLP tasks. By contributing, you help bridge the gap between theoretical exploration and the practical application of AI in advanced linguistic contexts. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the project further, please contact pauzel1(a)st.amu.edu.pl. Thank you for your time and valuable input! Kind regards, Paulina Żelewska (Research Supervisor: Dr. Paweł Łupkowski)
