Annotowatch at MSM 2013 IE Challenge

Our team has recently participated in MSM 2013 IE challenge, where we finished at the 2nd place, just 1% in F1 measure behind the first one. We have participated with approach named Annotowatch.

The challenge took place at MSM 2013 workshop, which was a part of WWW 2013 conference.
