[Imageworld] Data release: Flowchart image interpretation task in CLEF-IP 2012

[Allan Hanbury]

CLEF-IP is an evaluation campaign organised as a Lab of the CLEF 
conference (http://clef2012.org). It evaluates information retrieval for 
tasks in the intellectual property domain. Four new tasks have been 
developed for 2012, and participants can choose to participate in one or 
more tasks.

One of the tasks involves the interpretation of images of flowcharts in 
patents. Participants in this task will be asked to extract the 
information in these images and return it in a predefined textual format.

Detailed instructions on the task and data download are here:
