** apologies for cross-posting *** ================================================== *FINAL CALL: ML/NLP Competition on Automatic Classification of Literary Epochs (CoLiE)*
To advance the field of implicit temporal information retrieval from a text, this competition aims to challenge participants to develop automatic methods to identify the literary epochs of a given text, which is considered here as an implicit temporal context of a book.
The task on Automatic Classification of Literary Epochs (CoLiE) aims at automatic identification of the literary epoch of a given text from its writing style: (1) Romanticism (1798-1837), (2) Victorian Literature (1837-1901), (3) Modernism (1900-1945), (4) Postmodernism (1945-2000), and (5) our days (from 2000).
The competition is held as a part of the IACT’23 https://en.sce.ac.il/news/iact23 workshop, held on July 27, 2023, in conjunction with the 46th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval
This competition is open to anyone with a passion for information retrieval, machine learning, and natural language processing. Whether you are a seasoned expert or a newcomer to the field, we welcome you to participate and extend the boundaries of automated text analysis!
