The TREC 2002 Filtering Track Report
2002
Text Retrieval Conference
In adaptive filtering, the system begins with only a topic statement and a small number of positive examples, and must learn a better profile from on-line feedback. ...
The TREC-11 filtering track measures the ability of systems to build persistent user profiles which successfully separate relevant and non-relevant documents in an incoming stream. ...
Acknowledgements We give our thanks to all the people who have contributed to the development of the TREC filtering track over the years, in particular David Lewis, David Hull, Karen Sparck Jones, Chris ...

The TREC experiments and their impact on Europe
1997
Journal of information science
Information retrieval (IR) research on text collections has concentrated on improving the effectiveness of the indexing and retrieval operations. ...
In 1992 the first of a series of evaluation exercises called TREC (Text REtrieval Conference) was launched in the US and these exercises have continued annually since then. ...
In addition to the ad hoc retrieval mode, TREC also runs in parallel, a filtering or routing mode. ...

The Development and Evolution of TREC and DUC
2002
NTCIR Conference on Evaluation of Information Access Technologies
The Text REtrieval Conference (TREC) has been running for 11 years now, with 93 participants in the last round of evaluation. ...
This paper chronicles the changes in TREC over that time, emphasizing the evolution in the tasks that were evaluated rather than discussing the results of the specific evaluations. ...
Starting in TREC-4, a filtering track has worked on the binary version of the routing task, using utility functions as measures of the quality of the retrieved set. ...

TREC 11 Experiments at CAS-ICT: Filtering and Web
2002
Text Retrieval Conference
CAS-ICT took part in the TREC conference for the second time this year and we undertook two tracks of TREC-11. For filtering track, we have submitted results of all three subtasks. ...
In batch filtering and routing, a centroid-based classifier is used with preprocessed samples. For Web track, we have submitted results of both two subtasks. ...
We give our thanks to all the people who have contributed to this research and development, in particular Yanbo Han, Li Guo, Qun Liu, Xin Zhang, Hao Zhang, Dongbo Bu and Huaping Zhang. ...

Further reflections on TREC
2000
Information Processing & Management
One implication is that TREC should move into a new phase targeted on key comparisons and task speci®cations designed to deliver substantive new information, in particular shifting towards situated IR ...
The paper focuses on the ad hoc retrieval task, with discussion of other test tracks as appropriate. ...
Acknowledgements I am grateful to Stephen Robertson and Donna Harman for their comments, and wish speci®cally to acknowledge the latter's scrupulous care in distinguishing her points as from a Referee, ...

JHU/APL at TREC 2001: Experiments in Filtering and in Arabic, Video, and Web Retrieval
2001
Text Retrieval Conference
Conclusions This year we participated in three tracks that each presented new challenges: filtering, video, and Arabic. ...
We investigated the use of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for batch text classification and noticed a large sensitivity to parameter settings for these classifiers. ...
This cluster has 200GB of dedicated, networked disk space for use in our retrieval work.
Filtering Track We participated in both the routing and batch tasks for the filtering track. ...

Experiments in Japanese text retrieval and routing using the NEAT system
1998
Proceedings of the 21st annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '98
Results on the standard BMIR-Jl and BMIR-J2 Japanese retrieval collections indicate that term weighting transfers well to Japanese text. ...
We also demonstrate that relevance feedback can be used effectively for query expansion in Japanese routing applications. Japanese Character Sets Japanese text contains 3 classes of character: kanji, ...
If more than 5 terms in a row were discarded training for this query was stopped. This training procedure is similar to that used for TREC routing experiments in [22] . ...
