Hi all,
We are now close to the early-bird deadline! Submission is open as long
as it is December 16th anywhere on earth [1]. However, if you make a
submission on time and it fails for some reason, we will give you a bit
more time to fix the issue.
To participate in the early-bird submission (which is completely
optional), you have to have at least one run submitted to the
"arguments-test" dataset [2]. Both upload submissions and docker
submissions are welcome (and we already received both kinds). If you
made more than one submission to the test data, please send me a mail to
tell me which one should count.
As some teams struggled to prepare a valid file for upload submission,
we now created an online run file validator that you can use to quickly
check your file before you submit [3]. Feedback on this is welcome.
Since we plan for some time to fix errors (see above), please expect to
get your results on Monday.
If you have questions, please mail me, though note that it is soon
midnight for me and I will take some sleep. But do not worry if you run
into trouble. To encounter these troubles now instead of at the final
deadline is exactly what this early-bird deadline is for. And as I said
before: if you tried to submit but it failed, we will still try to fix
and include the run.
On a separate note: Unfortunately, it takes us longer than expected to
prepare the additional test dataset from religious texts. Since it is so
different to what we have already, the crowdworkers really struggled and
the quality of the annotations did not meet our standards. We are thus
now re-annotating the data. Though we hoped we could made it in time for
the early-bird deadline, it seems we will be missing it by a few days.
However, the dataset will definitely be available for the final
submission deadline as a completely optional second test dataset. We
hope you are also excited to find out whether your approach also works
on such arguments.
We hope you have a great time and have fingers crossed for all your
submissions!
Johannes, Milad, Nailia, Maximilian, Henning, and Benno
