Overview - Web 2012¶
Proceedings | Data | Results | Runs | Participants
The TREC Web Track explores and evaluates Web retrieval technology over large collections of Web data. In its current incarnation, the Web Track has been active since TREC 2009, where it included both a traditional adhoc retrieval task and a new diversity task. The goal of this diversity task is to return a ranked list of pages that together provide complete coverage for a query, while avoiding excessive redundancy in the result list. For TREC 2010 the track introduced a new Web spam task. For both TREC 2011 and 2012, we dropped the spam task but continued the other two tasks essentially unchanged. As we did since TREC 2009, we based our TREC 2012 experiments on the billion-page ClueWeb09 collection created by the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University
