EVALITA4ELG: Italian Benchmark Linguistic Resources, NLP Services and Tools for the ELG Platform

Starting from the first edition held in 2007, EVALITA is the initiative for the evaluation of Natural Language Processing tools for Italian. This paper describes the EVALITA4ELG project, whose main aim is at systematically collecting the resources released as benchmarks for this evaluation campaign, and making them easily accessible through the European Language Grid platform. The collection is moreover integrated with systems and baselines as a pool of web services with a common interface, deployed on a dedicated hardware infrastructure.
