| 49 | 49 | As part of the workshop, we plan to organize a panel discussion as the first meeting of the !CleanerEval shared task on combined paragraph and document quality detection for (web) documents. The !CleanerEval shared task follows the successful !CleanEval shared task organized by SIGWAC in 2006. While !CleanEval focussed specifically on so-called boilerplate removal, !CleanerEval goes beyond this and asks for systems that determine the linguistic quality of paragraphs and whole documents in an automatic fashion, such that corpus designers can decide whether to include them in their corpus or not. In the !CleanerEval setting, boilerplate paragraphs are paragraphs with low quality, but there might be other, non-boilerplate paragraphs with low quality as well. !CleanerEval was proposed by the organizers of WAC-XI during the final discussion of WAC-X, where the proposal was met with enthusiasm. The WAC-XI panel discussion is intended to serve as a platform for the development of the operationalization of the notions of paragraph and document quality, the annotation guidelines, and the final schedule for the shared task. The final meeting of the shared task is planned for to be part of WAC-XII in 2018. |
