Abstract

This paper introduces the NTCIR Workshops, a series of evaluation workshops designed to enhance research in Japanese and Asian language text retrieval, cross-lingual information retrieval, and related text processing techniques such as summarization, extraction, etc. by providing large-scale test collections and a forum of researchers. Twenty-eight groups from six countries participated in the first workshop and forty-six groups from eight countries have registered for the second. The test collections used in the Workshops are basically TREC-type collections but they contain several unique characteristics including multi-grade relevance judgments. Finally some thoughts on future directions are suggested.
