TREC 2018 News Track

چکیده
While more and more people are relying on social media for news feeds, serious news consumers still resort to well-established news outlets for more accurate and in-depth reporting and analyses. They may also look for reports on related events that have happened before and other background information in order to better understand the event being reported. Many news outlets already create sidebars and embed hyperlinks to help news readers, often with manual efforts. Technologies in IR and NLP already exist to support those features, but standard test collections do not address the tasks of modern news consumption. To help advance such technologies and transfer them to news reporting, NIST, in partnership with the Washington Post, is starting a new TREC track in 2018 known as the News Track.

TREC 2010 Blog Track: Top Stories Identification
This paper describes our participation in the TREC 2010 Blog Track. For the Top Stories Identification Task, we explore the relationship among news events, news stories and blog posts. We first extract important news events from the TRC2 corpus using a probabilistic mixture model. Then, we propose a probabilistic approach to identify top news stories. Furthermore, we use an additional feature t...
متن کاملCrowdsourcing Blog Track Top News Judgments at TREC
Since its inception, the venerable TREC retrieval conference has relied upon specialist assessors or participating groups to create relevance judgments for the tracks that it runs. However, recently crowdsourcing has been proposed as a possible alternative to traditional TREC-like assessments, supporting fast accumulation of judgments at a low cost. 2010 was the first year that TREC experimente...
متن کاملPOSTECH at TREC 2009 Blog Track: Top Stories Identification
This paper describes our participation in the TREC 2009 Blog Track. Our system consists of the query likelihood component and the news headline prior component, based on the language model framework. For the query likelihood, we propose several approaches to estimate the query language model and the news headline language model. We also suggest two approaches to choose the 10 supporting relevan...
متن کاملIMS @ TREC 2017 Core Track
We report our participation to the TREC 2017 Core Track. Our objective is to systematically investigate the use of weak baselines, namely off-the-shelf open source IR systems, and understand how they compare with respect to TREC state-of-the-art ones. We are also interested in understanding how IR components – namely stop lists, stemmers/n-grams, and IR models – contribute to the overall perfor...

The TREC 2017 Common Core Track aimed at gathering a diverse set of participating runs and building a new test collection using advanced pooling methods. In this paper, we describe the participation of the IlpsUvA team at the TREC 2017 Common Core Track. We submitted runs created using two methods to the track: (1) BOIR uses Bayesian optimization to automatically optimize retrieval model hyperp...
