Semantic Search Challenge 2011 is closed!


The Semantic Search Challenge called for participants to answer keyword queries varying in complexity, based on a set of structured data collected from the Web. The results have been discussed at the 4th International Workshop on Semantic Search, co-located with the World Wide Web Conference 2011 in Hyderabad, India. Winners were awarded cash prizes and the description of their work will appear as part of the workshop proceedings published by the ACM Digital Library.

Thank you to everyone who participated.
