* The importance of reusable, large-scale standard test collections in
Information Access research has been widely recognized. The success of
TREC, CLEF, and NTCIR has clearly established the importance of an
evaluation workshop that facilitates research by providing the data and a
common forum for comparing models and techniques. The Forum for Information
Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE) follows in the footsteps of TREC, CLEF and
NTCIR with the following aims: - Encourage research in South Asian language
Information Access technologies by providing reusable large-scale test
collections for ILIR experiments.- Explore new Information Retrieval /
Access tasks that arise as our information needs evolve, and new needs
emerge.- Provide a common evaluation infrastructure for comparing the
performance of different IR systems.- Investigate evaluation methods for
Information Access techniques and methods for constructing a reusable
large-scale data set for ILIR experiments.*
