Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2016 

Meeting Description:

This is the 15th PAN workshop on digital text forensics. PAN will be held as
part of the CLEF conference in Évora, Portugal, on September 5-8, 2016.
Evaluations will commence from January till June. We invite you to take part
in any of the three tasks author identification, author profiling, and author
obfuscation.


Call for Participation:

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

1. Author Identification -- Given a document, who wrote it? This task focuses
on author clustering and author diarization. Both tasks are concerned with
measuring author similarity across and within texts.

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

3. Author Obfuscation -- Given a document, hide its author. This task works
against identification and profiling by automatically paraphrasing a text to
obfuscate its author's style. The tasks offered are author masking and
obfuscation evaluation.

PAN is held in conjunction with the CLEF'16 conference in Évora, Portugal.
