We invite you to take part in one of the following PAN 2012 competitions:
1. Plagiarism Detection
This task features a new plagiarism corpus based on the ClueWeb09,
the new search engine ChatNoir which indexes this corpus,
the cloud-based evaluation architecture TIRA,
and for the first time, real plagiarism cases.
2. Author Identification
This task focuses on identifying sexual predators in chat logs,
and on authorship verification as well as author clustering.
For the first time, real cases of disputed authorship will be used.
3. Quality Flaw Prediction in Wikipedia
This task is newly introduced; it is about identifying Wikipedia articles
that contain certain information quality flaws.
It generalizes the vandalism detection task of last year.
Find out about all the details at pan.webis.de.
PAN is held in conjunction with the CLEF'12 conference in Roma, Italy.
