The Living Labs for Information Retrieval Evaluation (LL4IR) CLEF Lab

September, 2015, Toulouse, France





[Registration closes: 30 April, 2015]

===========================================================================================

This lab provides a benchmarking platform for researchers to evaluate their ranking systems in a live setting with real users in their natural task environments. The lab acts as a proxy between commercial organizations (live environments) and lab participants (experimental systems).


The lab focuses on three use-cases (using a shared API): 

Task 1: product search (on the REGIO JÁTÉK e-commerce site)
Task 2: local domain search (on the University of Amsterdam's website)
Task 3: web search (through Seznam, a major commercial web search engine)

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

What is in it for you as a lab participant?

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

- Access to privileged commercial data (click through, etc.).
- Access to new static TREC-style collections.
- Access to the living labs evaluation environments.
- Opportunity to test your IR systems on real live systems with real live users.
