The subject says it all, but for quick reference, here's again the CfP.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WSDM Cup 2017: Call for Participation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We invite you to take part in the following shared tasks:

Task 1. Vandalism Detection -- Given a Wikidata revision, is it damaging? This task is about detecting vandalism as well as all other kinds of damaging edits to Wikidata. In doing so, not only Wikidata's integrity is protected, but also that of all information systems making use of the knowledge base.

Task 2. Triple Scoring -- Compute relevance scores for triples from type-like relations. For example, the triple "Johnny_Depp profession Actor" should get a high score, because acting is Depp's main profession, whereas "Quentin_Tarantino profession Actor" should get a low score, because Tarantino is more of a director than an actor. Such scores are a basic ingredient for ranking results in entity search.

Awards for best-performing submissions.

Aobe Systems, Inc. sponsors the WSDM Cup with a total of $5000 in awards for the best-performing submissions. The winners of each task will receive an award of $1500, and the second and third runner-ups $750 and $250.

Evaluation as a Service.

For the sake of reproducability, we ask you to submit your software instead of just its run output. Software submissions allow for preserving your software in working condition, and for re-evaluating it as new datasets appear. To facilitate software submissions, we will make use of the cloud-based evaluation platform TIRA (www.tira.io).

Open Source Proceedings.

We encourage the open source release of your software. To maximize the impact of your software, we collect it at a central repository on GitHub: https://github.com/wsdm-cup-2017 Private repositories can be assigned to you at request during the competition.

Benefits for early birds.

Submitting your software or your notebook early, as well as registering early for the conference will be rewarded. Check out the specific benefits on our web page at http://www.wsdm-cup-2017.org
