FAQ

Can I participate in only one task?

Yes. You can enter one or both tasks, and each is evaluated independently.

Can I use the original ontologies as background knowledge?

No. Bear in mind that in order to reproduce each approach, additional ontologies will be used by the challenge team.

Is there a participation fee?

No. The challenge is open and free to join.

Can I use any LLM or external tools?

Yes, as long as the model is open and has fewer than 30 billion parameters. Declare it in the base_model field of your metadata.yaml.

How are my outputs evaluated?

We have automated tools for this. Refer to the corresponding benchmark to see which metrics are used.

What if my system cannot be reproduced?

If a reviewer cannot reproduce your results from the public artifacts, the submission does not receive a Green status and is not included in the ranked leaderboard. Under the traffic-light system, it may receive a Yellow status if only minor clarifications or fixes are needed, or a Red status if the code is unavailable and only the outputs were provided.

Will the reports be published?

Yes. Accepted papers will be published in a high-ranking Semantic Web journal.

Are there prizes?

Yes. 500 euros will be awarded by Elsevier for the best system in each track.
