LeQua 2022: A lab on Learning to Quantify @ CLEF2022

The aim of LeQua 2022 (the 1st edition of the CLEF “Learning to Quantify” lab) is to allow the comparative evaluation of methods for “learning to quantify” in textual datasets, i.e., methods for training predictors of the relative frequencies of the classes of interest in sets of unlabelled (textual) documents. These predictors (called “quantifiers”) are required to issue predictions for several such sets, some of them characterized by class frequencies radically different from the ones of the training set.
