SCOPE--------------------------The goal of CENTRE at CLEF 2018 is to run a
joint CLEF/NTCIR/TREC task on challenging participants to reproduce best
results of the most interesting systems submitted in previous editions of
CLEF/NTCIR/TREC and to contribute back to the community the additional
components and resources developed to reproduce the results (lab flyer
available at this link:
http://www.centre-eval.org/clef2018/centre_clef2018_flyer.pdf
<http://www.centre-eval.org/clef2018/centre_clef2018_flyer.pdf>).The
CENTRE at CLEF 2018 lab will offer two pilot tasks:Task 1 - Replicability: the
task will focus on the replicability of selected methods on the same
experimental collections;Task 2 - Reproducibility: the task will focus on
the reproducibility of selected methods on the different experimental
collections.Since CENTRE is a joint CLEF/NTCIR/TREC activity, participants
in Tasks 1 and 2 will be challenged to reproduce methods and systems
developed in all the evaluation campaigns, i.e. CLEF will challenge against
NTCIR and TREC results in addition to CLEF results.To participate in the
lab, the groups need to register by April, 27 at the following link:
