Abstract

The INFILE campaign was run for the first time as a pilot track in CLEF 2008. Its purpose was the evaluation of cross-language adaptive filtering systems. It used a corpus of 300,000 newswires from Agence France Presse (AFP) in three languages: Arabic, English and French, and a set of 50 topics in general and specific domain (scientific and technological information). Due to delays in the organization of the task, the campaign only had 3 submissions (from one participant) which are presented in this article.
