Evaluation Campaign on Plagiarism Detection and Wikipedia Vandalism Detection
held in conjunction with the CLEF'10 conference
in Padua, Italy, September 20-23
http://pan.webis.de

About the Campaign:
Plagiarism detection in text documents is a challenging retrieval task: today's
detection systems are faced with intricate situations, such as obfuscated
plagiarism or plagiarism within and across languages. Moreover, the source of a
plagiarism case may be hidden in a large collection of documents, or it may not
be available at all. Informally, the respective CLEF-Lab task can be described
as follows:

1. Plagiarism Detection. Given a set of suspicious documents and a set of source
documents, the task is to find all plagiarized sections in the suspicious
documents and, if available, the corresponding source sections.

Following the success of the 2009 campaign and based on our experience we will
provide a revised evaluation corpus consisting of artificial and simulated
plagiarism.

Vandalism has always been one of Wikipedia's biggest problems. However, the
detection of vandalism is done mostly manually by volunteers, and research on
automatic vandalism detection is still in its infancy. Hence, solutions are to
be developed which aid Wikipedians in their efforts. Informally, the respective
CLEF-Lab task can be described as follows:

2. Wikipedia Vandalism Detection. Given a set of edits on Wikipedia articles,
the task is to identify all edits which are vandalism, i.e., all edits whose
editors had bad intentions.

Participants are invited to submit results for one or both of the tasks.
