Preface to Multilingual Information Access Evaluation I. Multimedia Experiments
Peters C, Caputo B, Gonzalo J, Jones G J, Kalpathycramer J, Mueller H, Tsikrika TThis book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 10th Workshop of the Cross Language Evaluation Forum, CLEF 2010, held in Corfu, Greece, in September/October 2009. The volume reports experiments on various types of multimedia collections. It is divided into three main sections presenting the results of the following tracks: Interactive Cross-Language Retrieval (iCLEF), Cross-Language Image Retrieval (ImageCLEF), and Cross-Language Video Retrieval (VideoCLEF).DOI: 10.1007/978-3-642-15751-6Metrics:

Preface to Multilingual Information Access Evaluation I. Text Retrieval Experiments
Peters C, Di Nunzio G, Kurimo M, Mandl T, Mostefa D, Penas A, Roda GThis book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 10th Workshop of the Cross Language Evaluation Forum, CLEF 2010, held in Corfu, Greece, in September/October 2009. The volume reports experiments on various types of textual document collections. It is divided into six main sections presenting the results of the following tracks: Multilingual Document Retrieval (Ad-Hoc), Multiple Language Question Answering (QA@CLEF), Multilingual Information Filtering (INFILE@CLEF), Intellectual Property (CLEF-IP) and Log File Analysis (LogCLEF), plus the activities of the MorphoChallenge Program.DOI: 10.1007/978-3-642-15754-7Project(s): PASCAL

Preface to Evaluating Systems for Multilingual and Multimodal information Access
Peters C, Deselaers T, Ferro N, Gonzalo J, Jones G J, Kurimo M, Mandl T, Penas A, Petras VThis book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 9th Workshop of the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum, CLEF 2008, held in Aarhus, Denmark, in September 2008. The 130 revised and extended papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. They are completed by an introduction on CLEF 2008. As usual, the seven main evaluation tracks in CLEF 2008 aimed to test the performance of a wide range of multilingual information access systems or system components. The papers are organized in topical main sections on Multilingual Textual Document Retrieval (Ad Hoc), Mono- and Cross-Language Scientific Data Retrieval (Domain-Specific), Interactive Cross-Language Retrieval (iCLEF), Multiple Language Question Answering (QA@CLEF), Cross-Language Retrieval in Image Collections (ImageCLEF), Multilingual Web Track (WebCLEF), Cross-Language Geographical Retrieval (GeoCLEF), Cross-Language Video Retrieval (VideoCLEF), Multilingual Information Filtering (INFILE@CLEF), and Morpho Challenge at CLEF 2008.DOI: 10.1007/978-3-642-04447-2Metrics:

MultiMatch: Multiple Access to Cultural Heritage
Amato G, Debole F, Peters C, Savino POur shared cultural heritage (CH) is an essential part of our European identity, transcending cultural and language barriers. The aim of the MultiMatch project is to enable users to explore and interact with online internet-accessible CH content, across media types and language boundaries, in ways that do justice to the multitude of existing perspec- tives. This has been achieved through the development of a search en- gine targeted for the access, organisation and personalized presentation of large and complex cultural heritage information. MultiMatch aims at heterogeneous digital object retrieval and presentation.Project(s): Multilingual/Multimedia access to cultural heritage

CLEF 2007: ad hoc track overview
Di Nunzio G, Ferro N, Mandl T, Peters CWe describe the objectives and organization of the CLEF 2007 Ad Hoc track and discuss the main characteristics of the tasks offered to test monolingual and cross-language textual document retrieval systems. The track was divided into two streams. The main stream offered mono- and bilingual tasks on target collections for central European languages (Bulgarian, Czech and Hungarian). Similarly to last year, a bilingual task that encouraged system testing with non-European languages against English documents was also offered; this year, particular attention was given to Indian languages. The second stream, designed for more experienced participants, offered mono- and bilingual "robust" tasks with the objective of privileging experiments which achieve good stable performance over all queries rather than high average performance. These experiments re-used CLEF test collections from previous years in three languages (English, French, and Portuguese). The performance achieved for each task is presented and discussed.DOI: 10.1007/978-3-540-85760-0_2Metrics:

The MultiMatch prototype: multilingual/multimedia search for cultural heritage objects
Amato G, Debole F, Peters C, Savino PMultiMatch is a 30 month targeted research project under the Sixth Framework Programme, supported by the unit for Content, Learning and Cultural Heritage (Digicult) of the Information Society DG. MultiMatch is developing a multimedia/multilingual search engine designed specifically for the access, organization and personalized presentation of cultural heritage information. The demonstration will present the MultiMatch system prototype.Source: LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE, vol. 5173, pp. 385-387

From research to application in multilingual information access: the contribution of evaluation
Peters C, Braschler M, Di Nunzio G, Ferro N, Gonzalo J, Sanderson MThe importance of evaluation in promoting research and development in the information retrieval and natural language processing domains has long been recognised but is this sufficient? In many areas there is still a considerable gap between the results achieved by the research community and their implementation in commercial applications. This is particularly true for the cross-language or multilingual retrieval areas. Despite the strong demand for and interest in multilingual IR functionality, there are still very few operational systems on offer. The Cross Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) is now taking steps aimed at changing this situation. The paper provides a critical assessment of the main results achieved by CLEF so far and discusses plans now underway to extend its activities in order to have a more direct impact on the application sector.
