CROSS-LANGUAGE EVALUATION FORUM
CLEF 2005 - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The CLEF series of system evaluation campaigns aims at promoting research
into the design and development of user-friendly, multilingual, multimodal
retrieval systems.

Registration opens for CLEF 2005 on 31 January.

The objective of CLEF 2005 will be to test different aspects of  mono- and
cross-language information retrieval system performance. There will be
eight tracks this year:

2.  Mono- and Cross-Language Information Retrieval on Structured Scientific
Data (Domain-Specific)
3. Interactive Cross-Language Information Retrieval (iCLEF)
4. Multiple Language Question Answering (QAatCLEF)
5. Cross-language Retrieval in Image Collections (ImageCLEF)
6. Cross-Language Spoken Document Retrieval (CL-SR)
7. Multilingual Web Track (WebCLEF)
8. Cross-Language Geographical Retrieval (GeoCLEF)


IMPORTANT DATES:
Data Release - from 15 February 2005
Topic Release - from 15 March 2005
