LLMs4OL: The Large Language Models for Ontology Learning Challenge
Welcome to the official repository for the LLMs4OL (Large Language Models for Ontology Learning) challenge, a shared task series organized as part of the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC).
This repository serves as the central hub for datasets, tasks, documentation, and other materials used across different editions of the challenge. The LLMs4OL challenge explores the use of large language models in automating ontology learning.
Below is a list of the current and upcoming LLMs4OL challenge rounds, along with links to their corresponding materials:
| 🏁 Challenge Round | 📄 GitHub Readme | 🌍 Conference | 🔗 Website |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1nd LLMs4OL | 2024/README.md | 23th ISWC at Baltimore, USA (November 11-15, 2024) | https://sites.google.com/view/llms4ol |
| 2nd LLMs4OL | 2025/README.md | 24th ISWC at Nara, Japan (November 2-6, 2025) | https://sites.google.com/view/llms4ol2025 |
Each edition folder (e.g., 2024/, 2025/) contains:
- 📁 Datasets for training and evaluation
- 📄 Submission guidelines
- ⚙️ Baseline systems (if available)
Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, or enthusiast in the semantic web, knowledge representation, or NLP communities—you are invited to participate, contribute, and explore new approaches to ontology learning using LLMs!
