Meeting Description: 

This is the 9th evaluation lab on uncovering plagiarism, authorship, and
social software misuse. PAN will be held as part of the CLEF conference in
Valencia, Spain, on September 23-26, 2013. Evaluations will commence from
January till June. We invite you to take part in any of the three tasks
plagiarism detection, author identification, and author profiling.
 

PAN @ CLEF: Call for Participation

We invite you to take part in one of the following evaluations:

1. Plagiarism Detection -- Given a document, is it an original?
This task is divided into source retrieval and text alignment. Source retrieval is about searching for likely sources of a suspicious document. Text alignment is about matching passages of reused text between documents.

2. Author Identification -- Given a document, who wrote it?
This task focuses on authorship verification and methods to answer the question whether two given documents have the same author or no. This question accurately emulates the real-world problem that most forensic linguists face every day.

3. Author Profiling -- Given a document, what's its author's age / gender?
This task is concerned with predicting an author's demographics from her writing. Besides being personally identifiable, an author's style may also reveal her age and gender. Accurate predictors are of key interest to forensic linguists and marketers alike.
