Food Computing is currently a fast-growing field of research. Natural language processing (NLP) is also increasingly essential in this field, especially for recognising food entities. However, there are still only a few well-defined tasks that serve as benchmarks for solutions in this area. We introduce a new dataset -- called \textit{TASTEset} -- to bridge this gap. In this dataset, Named Entity Recognition (NER) models are expected to find or infer various types of entities helpful in processing recipes, e.g.~food products, quantities and their units, names of cooking processes, physical quality of ingredients, their purpose, taste. The dataset consists of 700 recipes with more than 13,000 entities to extract. We provide a few state-of-the-art baselines of named entity recognition models, which show that our dataset poses a solid challenge to existing models. The best model achieved, on average, 0.95 $F_1$ score, depending on the entity type -- from 0.781 to 0.982. We share the dataset and the task to encourage progress on more in-depth and complex information extraction from recipes.

We present ForMaT (Format-Preserving Multilingual Translation), a parallel corpus of 3,956 PDFs across 15 language pairs that preserves original layout metadata proposed for multimodal machine translation. To ensure structural diversity in the dataset, we employ K-Medoids sampling over 45 geometric features, capturing complex elements like nested tables and formulas to focus only on visually diverse PDF documents. Our evaluation reveals that current MT systems struggle with spatial grounding and geometric synchronization, often losing the link between text and its visual context. ForMaT provides a benchmark for developing layout-aware translation models that integrate visual and textual context for high-fidelity document reconstruction.

People use language for various purposes. Apart from sharing information, individuals may use it to express emotions or to show respect for another person. In this paper, we focus on the formality level of machine-generated translations and present FAME-MT -- a dataset consisting of 11.2 million translations between 15 European source languages and 8 European target languages classified to formal and informal classes according to target sentence formality. This dataset can be used to fine-tune machine translation models to ensure a given formality level for each European target language considered. We describe the dataset creation procedure, the analysis of the dataset's quality showing that FAME-MT is a reliable source of language register information, and we present a publicly available proof-of-concept machine translation model that uses the dataset to steer the formality level of the translation. Currently, it is the largest dataset of formality annotations, with examples expressed in 112 European language pairs. The dataset is published online: https://github.com/laniqo-public/fame-mt/ .

Competency Questions (CQs) are used in many ontology engineering methodologies to collect requirements and track the completeness and correctness of an ontology being constructed. Although they are frequently suggested by ontology engineering methodologies, the publicly available datasets of CQs and their formalizations in ontology query languages are very scarce. Since first efforts to automate processes utilizing CQs are being made, it is of high importance to provide large and diverse datasets to fuel these solutions. In this paper, we present BigCQ, the biggest dataset of CQ templates with their formalizations into SPARQL-OWL query templates. BigCQ is created automatically from a dataset of frequently used axiom shapes. These pairs of CQ templates and query templates can be then materialized as actual CQs and SPARQL-OWL queries if filled with resource labels and IRIs from a given ontology. We describe the dataset in detail, provide a description of the process leading to the creation of the dataset and analyze how well the dataset covers real-world examples. We also publish the dataset as well as scripts transforming axiom shapes into pairs of CQ patterns and SPARQL-OWL templates, to make engineers able to adapt the process to their particular needs.

We propose a new shared task of semantic retrieval from legal texts, in which a so-called contract discovery is to be performed, where legal clauses are extracted from documents, given a few examples of similar clauses from other legal acts. The task differs substantially from conventional NLI and shared tasks on legal information extraction (e.g., one has to identify text span instead of a single document, page, or paragraph). The specification of the proposed task is followed by an evaluation of multiple solutions within the unified framework proposed for this branch of methods. It is shown that state-of-the-art pretrained encoders fail to provide satisfactory results on the task proposed. In contrast, Language Model-based solutions perform better, especially when unsupervised fine-tuning is applied. Besides the ablation studies, we addressed questions regarding detection accuracy for relevant text fragments depending on the number of examples available. In addition to the dataset and reference results, LMs specialized in the legal domain were made publicly available.
