Re: [Corpora-List] 2nd Call for participation: Digital Humanities Hackathon on Text Re-Use: ‘Don’t leave your data ,problems at home!’

[Martin Potthast]

Hi Maria,

thank you for sharing, this is highly interesting!

I forward this mail also to the mailing list (on CC) of the PAN
evaluation lab on plagiarism detection (i.e., text reuse's evil twin
:-) ). I daresay the PAN community will be very interested to learn
about your initiative. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to
cross-fertilize the communities.

All the best,
Martin Potthast
