Towards a New Standard Arabic Test Collection for Mono- and Cross-Language Information Retrieval (poster)

Abstract

International audienceWe propose in this paper a new standard Arabic test collection for mono- and cross-language Information Retrieval (CLIR). To do this, we exploit the “Hadith” texts and we provide a portal for sampling and evaluation of Had-iths' results listed in both Arabic and English versions. The new called “Kunuz” standard Arabic test collection will promote and restart the development of Ar-abic mono retrieval and CLIR systems blocked since the earlier TREC-2001 and TREC-2002 editions
