* Task Description* *********************** Scientific research is almost exclusively published in unstructured text formats, which are not readily machine-readable. Thus, information extraction methods have been used widely to extract entities of different types from scholarly publication.
While software are important parts of the scientific process and should therefore be recognized as first class citizen of research, methods for software mention detection are still not widely available and used. Given the scale and heterogeneity of software citations, robust methods are required to detect and disambiguate mentions of software and related metadata. The SOftware Mention Detection in Scholarly Publications (SOMD) task will utilise the SoMeSci – Software mentions in Science– corpus to address three different subtasks in the context of software citations. Participants can sign up for one or more subtasks. Automated evaluations of submitted systems are done through the Codalab platform.
Subtask I: Software mention recognition. Subtask II: Additional information. Subtask III: Relation classification.
