Towards a New Standard Arabic Test Collection for Mono- and Cross-Language Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose in this paper a new standard Arabic test collection for monoand cross-language Information Retrieval (CLIR). To do this, we exploit the “Hadith” texts and we provide a portal for sampling and evaluation of Hadiths’ results listed in both Arabic and English versions. The new called “Kunuz” standard Arabic test collection will promote and restart the development of Arabic mono retrieval and CLIR systems blocked since the earlier TREC-2001 and TREC-2002 editions.
