Abstract

In recent years, TREC has broadened its scope to include many more facets of the Web searching process. In TREC-8 (1999), the Web special interest track evaluated link-based retrieval methods investigated differences between Web and traditional TREC ad hoc documents, and studied efficiency and effectiveness tradeoffs on large data sets. In addition, although neither used Web data, both the Cross-Lingual track and the Question & Answer track studied issues of considerable importance to everyday Web search.In TREC-9, the main Web track task will use a larger set of Web documents than last year and will use search topics derived from search engine logs. This task will be the closest approximation in TREC-9 to the traditional TREC Ad Hoc retrieval task.
