In QANTA 2026, systems answer pyramid-style questions from streaming text and, for some questions, accompanying images. For computer teams, the core task is to decide when to buzz, produce an answer, and express confidence under realistic efficiency constraints. The challenge is closely aligned with the workshop’s focus on efficient multimodal question answering, retrieval, reasoning, and evaluation. The shared challenge includes both computer-team submissions and related live human competition events. The key challenge deadlines listed above are the warmup data release, test data release, challenge metric / scoring feedback deadline, last system submission, and system description paper submission. The live human competition will take place on June 27, 2026 (in person) and June 28, 2026 (online). Thanks, and we hope to see you participate2h agoYouTube
