Call for Participation in the TREC'13 Contextual Suggestions Track Text REtrieval Conference (TREC 2013) November 19-22, Gaithersburg MD, USA Submission deadline extended to July 23, 2013 The Contextual Suggestion Track evaluates system that suggest attractions in a target city, given known user preferences in another city. For example, given the attractions a user would like to visit in Philadelphia, can we predict the attractions that user would like to visit in Cincinnati? The task models the problem of a traveler with a mobile device seeking suggestions for activities in a city he or she is visiting. Participating groups will be given: - A set of profiles for each user (like and dislikes for attractions). Over 550 profiles are available. - A set of 50 geographical contexts (cities) that the system should target. The system should return a list of up to 50 ranked suggestions for each profile+context pair. Submissions will be judged by the profiled users. In order to report suggestions a system may use: - URLs from the open Web - ClueWeb12 <http://lemurproject.org/clueweb12/> - ClueWeb12 B13 (7% of all of ClueWeb12) - ClueWeb12 CS (A small, specialized subcollection. Details are available on the contextual suggestion website.) Additionally, participants may use other available resources, such as Google Places, etc. Training data is available in the form of judged profile+context pairs from the TREC 2012 version of this task. Selected participants will have an opportunity to present their work at TREC 2013. There are still 4 weeks left to participate, with the ClueWeb12 CS collection providing a relatively easy starting point for participants with limited resources.
