[Corpora-List] Call for participation in new CLEF track: Question Answering on Speech Transcripts

[Mihai Surdeanu]

[Apologies for multiple postings]

Dear all,

We (Technical Univ. of Catalonia) are organizing the Question
Answering on Speech Transcripts (QAst) track within CLEF 2007. QAst is
a new CLEF track that aims to provide an evaluation framework for QA
technology (currently just factual QA) on speech transcripts, both
manual and automatic. A detailed description of this evaluation
exercise is available here: http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~qast.

If you are interested in participating please send us an email (at
turmo at lsi.upc.edu) with "QAst" in the subject line.

Best,
--
