NTCIR

For the NTCIR-17 Transfer task, we will use the test collections built in NTCIR-1 and NTCIR-2, which are referred to as "Test Collection 1" and "Test Collection 2". To use this data, it is necessary to submit user agreement forms. If you do not have both test collections, please download the agreement forms for "Test Collection 1" and "Test Collection 2" from the link below and follow the instructions to submit the user agreement forms. Once confirmed, the IDR Office will provide information on the data at a later date.

Please download the following agreement forms and fill out each PDF file, leaving the date blank. Then, print out copies of each form double-sided, and put your sign on each form.

• Test Collection 1

• Test Collection 2

Please scan the filled-in and signed agreement forms and send the PDF data of each form to the following two email addresses. One PDF data for each form is sufficient.

• IDR Office, NTCIR Team: idr-ntcir

• NTCIR Office: ntc-secretariat

Please send the original copies of each agreement, two copies for each agreement. After NII signs them, one copy will be returned to the participant as a receipt.
