Task Coordinators: Text Analysis Conference (TAC)

System Task

Given streams of text, speech, images, video, and their associated metadata, from a variety of genres, both formal (e.g.,news) and informal (e.g., social media, blogs), systems are asked to analyze each incoming information item (~100k items in total) and produce a set of structured representations (knowledge elements) about events, sub-events or actions, entities, relations, locations, time, and sentiments (beliefs) that are observable in that information item (all of them, not just the most confident!) given an ontology/schema and zero or more background (context) information.

More detailed guidelines about the task evaluation, metrics and data and schedule will be available soon on the TAC website
