CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

FIRE
(Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation)
Workshop
DAIICT, Gandhinagar, India
19-21 February 2010

http://www.isical.ac.in/~fire


The success of TREC, CLEF, and NTCIR has clearly established the importance
of building reusable, large-scale standard test collections in Information
Access research. The aim of FIRE is to encourage research in Indian language
Information Access by creating a similar platform for Indian languages that
provides the data and a common forum for comparing models and techniques.


The Tasks:
==========
1) Ad-hoc monolingual document retrieval in Bengali, Hindi and Marathi.

2) Ad-hoc cross-lingual document retrieval
- documents in Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, and English,
- queries in Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu and English.
- Bengali and Hindi topics will also be transliterated and made available
in Roman script. Adhoc monolingual task participants are encouraged to
submit runs using these queries as well.

3) Ad-hoc retrieval from technically oriented mailing lists and discussion
forums.
This is a pilot task being offered by IBM India Research Lab.
