CROSS-LANGUAGE EVALUATION FORUM

CLEF 2001 - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The CLEF series of system evaluation campaigns aims at promoting
research
and development in Cross-Language Information Retrieval.

Registration is now open for CLEF 2001.

There will be three main evaluation tracks in CLEF 2001, testing
multilingual, bilingual and monolingual (non-English) information
retrieval
systems. There will also be a special sub-task for domain-specific mono-

and
cross-language evaluation and, possibly, an experimental track testing
interactive cross-language systems.

The CLEF test collection for 2001 consists of a multilingual corpus of
newspaper and newswire documents for English, French, German, Italian,
Spanish and Dutch from the same time period. Topic sets will also be
provided in a number of additional languages including Russian, Japanese

and
Greek.
