Overview - Lateral Reading 2024

Proceedings | Data | Results | Runs | Participants

The TREC Lateral Reading Track is for researchers interested in addressing the problems of misinformation and trust in search and online content. The current web landscape requires the ability to make judgments about the trustworthiness of information, which is a difficult task for most people. Meanwhile, automated detection of misinformation is likely to remain limited to well-defined domains or be limited to simple fact-checking.
