               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

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The registration for the task on Cross-Language !ndian Text Re-Use at
FIRE is now open. A mailing list has been created as well in order to
let discussion among participants.

Both registration and mailing list subscription forms are available
through the task website (Registration/Discussion section).

Note that participants are allowed to submit up to three runs in order
to experimenting with different settings.

The call for participation follows.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
In this first edition of the 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 into the temptation of re-using its contents over
their own writing, the collection of texts provided includes 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 dubious piece of text.

We invite researchers and practitioners from all fields to participate.
