Overview - Million Query 2008

Proceedings | Data | Runs | Participants

The Million Query (1MQ) track ran for the second time in TREC 2008. The track is designed to serve two purposes: first, it is an exploration of ad-hoc retrieval over a large set of queries and a large collection of documents; second, it investigates questions of system evaluation, in particular whether it is better to evaluate using many shallow judgments or fewer thorough judgments.

Track coordinator(s):

• J. Allan, University of Massachusetts
• J. A. Aslam, Northeastern University
• V. Pavlu, Northeastern University
• E. Kanoulas, Northeastern University
• B. Carterette, University of Delaware
