CLEF 2001 ― Overview of Results

摘要

CLEF, the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum, continued to grow substantially in the second year of its existence. Building on the success of the first CLEF campaign in 2000 and of its predecessors, the TREC cross-language tracks, CLEF 2001 attracted 34 participating groups which submitted nearly 200 different result sets. A description of the various tracks, and a summary of the main results and research directions are given in this overview. In addition, the CLEF multilingual test collection is examined with respect to the completeness of its relevance assessments. The analysis indicates that the test collection is stable and well suited for use in future evaluations.
