An Evaluation of Geographic and Temporal Search
Proceedings of LWA2010 - Workshop-Woche: Lernen, Wissen & Adaptivitaet, Kassel, Germany, (2010)Abstract
This paper summarizes parts of the NTCIR-GeoTime Task held in Tokyo June 15-18, 2010. This task was the first evaluation specifically of search with both Geographic and Temporal constraints, i.e. it combines geographic information retrieval (GIR) with time-based search to find specific events in a multilingual collection. We describe the data collections (Japanese and English news stories), topic development, research approaches, assessment results and lessons learned from the evaluation.
