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 44 "evaluation
tasks" have been organised by the leading researchers in the field
of Informatics and related areas, attracting over 600 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 groups have signed up to use
the NTCIR test collections in the last decade. Furthermore, researchers
have been intensively discussing the evaluation methodology of emerging
information access technologies at NTCIR.
This is a memorial 10th cycle of NTCIR, and we would like to hold
an event to introduce the NTCIR-10 and exciting 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!
