Overview - OpenSearch 2016

Proceedings | Runs | Participants

We present the TREC Open Search track, which represents a new evaluation paradigm for information retrieval. It offers the possibility for researchers to evaluate their approaches in a live setting, with real, unsuspecting users of an existing search engine. The first edition of the track focuses on the academic search domain and features the ad-hoc scientific literature search task. We report on experiments with three different academic search engines: CiteSeerX, SSOAR, and Microsoft Academic Search.

Track coordinator(s):

• Krisztian Balog, University of Stavanger
• Anne Schuth, Blendle
• Peter Dekker, University of Amsterdam
• Narges Tavakolpoursaleh, GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences
• Philipp Schaer, TH Köln (University of Applied Sciences)
• Po-Yu Chuang, Pennsylvania State University

Tasks:

• round1: Round 1
