The HIPE-2026 evaluation campaign focused on person-place relation extraction from multilingual historical texts, building upon previous editions that targeted named entity recognition. This year's challenge involved 17 teams attempting to identify temporal relationships between people and places across French, German, and English documents from the 19th and 20th centuries, including a generalization set from early modern French literature. The evaluation framework assessed not only predictive accuracy but also computational efficiency and cross-domain generalization, reflecting practical needs in historical document processing. AI
