TREC Entity Track // Searching for entities and properties of entities

Training topics

Preliminaries

  • The completeness of the set of answers is denoted by COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE
  • For some queries, the set of support documents is also shown, under SUPPORT
  • Entities in the answer set are separated by empty lines. For each entity, the first line contains the name of the entity, the next n lines contain (relevance-level, homepage pairs), where 0=incorrect, 1=correct (descriptive), 2=correct (primary)
  • Wikipedia pages by definition are correct (1) but not primary (2) answers. An entity does not necessarily have to have a primary page.

This page facilitates discussion concerning the training topics.
