               CL!TR - Cross-Language !ndian Text Re-Use

                 held in conjunction with the FIRE 2011
               Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation
                  in Bombay, India, 2-4 December 2011

At the first edition of this evaluation task the focus is exclusively
on the cross-language text re-use detection task on Indian languages.
Text re-use detection across languages represents an interesting
retrieval task, which is even more challenging when considering
languages distantly related, yet in permanent contact (this year we
start with the English-Hindi).

As Wikipedia has been identified as a preferred source for students,
some of whom fall in the temptation of re-using its contents over
their own writing, the collection of texts provided is going to
include several Wikipedia articles (in English), some of which could
have been considered when answering to a set of questions (in Hindi).
The proposed task is to retrieve, if it is the case, the Wikipedia
article that has been used to generate a doubtful piece of text.

We invite researchers and practitioners from all fields to participate.
