Dear all, We are excited to invite you to participate in our upcoming shared task, Software Mention Detection (SOMD) 2025 co-located with the SDP workshop, ACL 2025 in Vienna, Austria. This event is designed to encourage innovation and collaboration in the Information Extraction field, focusing on software mentioned in scholarly articles.
Task Overview: Software plays an essential role in scientific research and is considered one of the crucial entity types in scholarly documents. However, the software is usually not cited formally in academic documents, resulting in various informal software mentions. Automatic identification and disambiguation of software mentions, related attributes, and the purpose of software mentions contributes to the better understanding, accessibility, and reproducibility of research but is a challenging task. This competition invites participants to develop a system that detects software mentions and their attributes as named entities from scholarly texts and classifies the relationships between these entity pairs. The dataset includes sentences from full-text scholarly documents annotated with Named Entities and Relations.
