Abstract: The 1st Workshop on Data Contamination (CONDA 2024) focuses on all relevant
aspects of data contamination in natural language processing, where data
contamination is understood as situations where evaluation data is included in
pre-training corpora used to train large scale models, compromising evaluation
results. The workshop fostered a shared task to collect evidence on data
contamination in current available datasets and models. The goal of the shared
task and associated database is to assist the community in understanding the
extent of the problem and to assist researchers in avoiding reporting
evaluation results on known contaminated resources. The shared task provides a
structured, centralized public database for the collection of contamination
evidence, open to contributions from the community via GitHub pool requests.
This first compilation paper is based on 566 reported entries over 91
contaminated sources from a total of 23 contributors. The details of the
individual contamination events are available in the platform. The platform
continues to be online, open to contributions from the community.
