Dear colleagues,=20

I am looking for volunteer annotators for a research study on the human eva=
luation of temporal question-answering, RAG, and GraphRAG systems.=20

The study investigates whether existing and newly developed automatic metri=
cs can reliably evaluate answers that depend on temporal facts, retrieved e=
vidence, and graph-based reasoning.=20

Human judgments will serve as the reference against which these metrics are=
 compared.=20

Annotation task=20
Participants will evaluate 20 system-generated answers. Depending on the sa=
mple, the judgments concern:=20

- answer correctness;=20
- temporal correctness;=20
- whether the supplied evidence supports the answer;=20
- whether citations are temporally appropriate;=20
- whether graph evidence is sufficient; and=20
- whether a system=E2=80=99s decision to answer or decline to answer is app=
ropriate.=20

All required questions, evidence, graph information, and reference material=
 are provided in the annotation interface. External search and AI tools sho=
uld not be used.=20

Expected commitment=20
- Guided tutorial: approximately 15 minutes=20
- Main annotation task: approximately 60-80 minutes=20
Total expected time: approximately 1.5 hours=20

Progress is saved automatically, allowing the task to be paused and resumed=
=20
A desktop or laptop computer is strongly recommended=20

The dataset and interface are entirely in English. Participants should ther=
efore be fluent English readers. Experience with NLP, information retrieval=
, knowledge graphs, question answering, RAG, or LLM evaluation is helpful b=
ut not required. No prior familiarity with this project is necessary.=20

This is a voluntary and unpaid academic contribution.=20

Access is distributed individually rather than through a public link. Each =
participant receives a private study URL, an annotation guide, and a pseudo=
nymous participant ID.=20

To participate, please contact me at: [ mailto:[email protected]=
orraine.fr | [email protected]=C2=A0 ]=20
with the subject: Temporal RAG annotation study=20

Please feel free to forward this call to colleagues, researchers, students,=
 or practitioners who may be interested.=20

Best regards,=20
