Ever wondered how to evaluate your new technology?
Over the 10 years, NTCIR Workshops have been formulating the infrastructure
for the evaluation of various information access technologies, and offering
the infrastructure to a range of research communities. A total of 37 "evaluation
tasks" have been organised by the leading researchers in the field
of Informatics and related areas, attracting 517 participant research groups
so far. The evaluation data generated as a result of such a large-scale
research community are called "test collections" which can offer
an evaluation platform for new information access technologies with a high
level of reproducibility. Over 1500 research articles have been published
based on the NTCIR test collections in the last decade. Furthermore, researchers
have been intensively discussing the evaluation methodology of emerging
information access technologies at NTCIR.
As some details have been finalised for NTCIR-9, we would like to hold
an event to introduce the NTCIR-9 and exciting new evaluation tasks.
Are you a young researcher in Information Access area, faculty members
who have (many) students to supervise, researchers in industry, or simply
interested in Informatics? Anyone is welcome for the event!
Join us to share the advance of the state of the art Information Access
research and development!
