Abstract

The goals of the CLEF (Cross-Language Evaluation Forum) series of evaluation campaigns for information retrieval systems operating on European languages are described. The difficulties of organizing an activity which aims at an objective evaluation of systems running on and over a number of different languages are examined. The discussion includes an analysis of the first results and proposals for possible developments in the future.
