*Venue*: ACL 2024, TextGraph workshop
*Website*: https://sites.google.com/view/textgraphs2024/home/shared-task 


TextGraph-17 workshop co-located with ACL-2024 features a shared task. 
TextGraph fosters the investigation of synergies between methods for text and 
graph processing. This edition focuses on the fusion of LLMs with KGs. In line 
with this goal, we propose a shared task on Text-Graph Representations for 
Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA). 

The shared task is to select a KG entity (out of several candidates) that 
corresponds to an answer given a textual question. The specificity of the task 
is that for each question-answer (Q-A) pair not only a textual Q-A pair is 
given but also a graph of shortest paths in the KG from entities in the query 
to the LLM-generated candidate entity (including links of the intermediate 
nodes). This way, participants easily may experiment with various strategies of 
text-graph modality fusion for the given task in a controllable manner.

Participants can submit reports about their participation to the TextGraphs 
workshop. An example of a previous TextGraphs shared task can be found here: 
https://aclanthology.org/volumes/2022.textgraphs-1/.


*Task Description*

Participants are given: 
- text: question with a list of Wikidata entities mentioned, 
- text: 5-10 answer candidates in the form of Wikidata entities,
- graph: a Wikidata sub-graph composed of the shortest paths between entities 
in question and entities in answer is provided.

One of the candidates is correct, others are incorrect. The goal is to find the 
correct answer ie. perform a binary classification. Participants are provided a 
train and development dataset in the form of Q-A-Subgraph triples. Besides, a 
submission to Codalab public and private leaderboard of the test set Q-A 
solutions will be available. 

Examples of visualization for the question "Who was formerly an actor and now a 
Republican senator?" can be found on our challenge website 
(https://sites.google.com/view/textgraphs2024/home/shared-task).  The 
participants are provided both textual labels of candidates and such graphs so 
additional features can be extracted from them, such as graph density, length 
of paths, textual labels on the paths, etc.
