Overview - Robust 2005

Proceedings | Data | Results | Runs | Participants

The goal of the Robust track is to improve the consistency of retrieval technology by focusing on poorly performing topics. This year, the track will investigate the effectiveness obtainable on a new document set for topics that are known to be difficult on a separate document set. For each topic, participants create a query and submit a ranking of the top 1000 documents for that topic.

Track coordinator(s):

• E.M. Voorhees, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
