Abstract

This report describes the ICDAR 2025 Competition on Automatic Classification of Literary Epochs (ICDAR 2025 CoLiE), which consisted of two tasks focused on automatic prediction of the time in which a book was written (date of first publication). Both tasks comprised two sub-tasks, where a related fine-grained classification was addressed. Task 1 consisted of the identification of literary epochs, such as Romanticism or Modernism (sub-task 1.1), and a more precise classification of the period within the epoch (sub-task 1.2). Task 2 addressed the chronological identification of century (sub-task 2.1) or decade (sub-task 2.2). The compiled dataset and the reported findings are valuable to the scientific community and contribute to advancing research in the automatic dating of texts and its applications in digital humanities and temporal text analysis.
