Meeting Description:

This is the 13th evaluation lab on uncovering plagiarism, authorship, and
social software misuse. PAN will be held as part of the CLEF conference in
Toulouse, France, on September 8-11, 2015. 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.

Call for Participation:

PAN 2015

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

1. Plagiarism Detection -- Given a document, is it an original?
This task studies source retrieval and text alignment, i.e. retrieving likely sources of a suspicious document, and aligning reused passages of text between them.

2. Author Identification -- Given a document, who wrote it?
This task focuses on authorship verification and methods that tell us whether two given documents have the same author; a frequent challenge of forensic linguistics.

3. Author Profiling -- Given a document, what're its author's personal traits?
This task is concerned with predicting an author's demographics from her Twitter tweets. For example, an author's style may reveal her age, gender, and personality.

PAN is held in conjunction with the CLEF'15 conference in Toulouse, France.
