Overview - Microblog 2011

Proceedings | Data | Results | Runs | Participants

The Microblog track examines search tasks and evaluation methodologies for information seeking behaviours in microblogging environments such as Twitter. It was first introduced in 2011, addressing a real-time adhoc search task, whereby the user wishes to see the most recent but relevant information to the query. In particular, systems should respond to a query by providing a list of relevant tweets ordered from newest to oldest, starting from the time the query was issued.

Track coordinator(s):

• Jimmy Lin, Twitter and University of Maryland, College Park
• Ian Soboroff, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
