====

We invite participation in the HIPE shared task on named entity
processing as part of CLEF 2020 Evaluation Labs. In the context of
massive digitization of historical documents, the objective of this
shared task is to assess and advance the development of robust named
entity processing systems able to deal with challenging, multilingual,
diachronic historical material, thereby supporting information
extraction and text understanding of cultural heritage data.

Tasks

1. Named Entity Recognition and Classification (high-level and
fine-grained)
2. Entity Linking

Data

Historical newspaper articles in French, German and American English
originating from Swiss, Luxembourgish and American digitized newspaper
archives and selected on a diachronic basis. The time span of the whole
corpus goes from 1798 until 2018. We will provide sample, training and
development data.

For further information please visit the HIPE website
