The TREC terabyte retrieval track

The TREC 2005 Terabyte Track

The Terabyte Track explores how retrieval and evaluation techniques can scale to terabyte-sized collections, examining both efficiency and effectiveness issues. TREC 2005 is the second year for the track. The track was introduced as part of TREC 2004, with a single adhoc retrieval task. That year, 17 groups submitted 70 runs in total. This year, the track consisted of three experimental tasks: ...

The TREC 2006 Terabyte Track

TREC 2006 is the third year for the track. The track was introduced as part of TREC 2004, with a single adhoc retrieval task. For TREC 2005, the track was expanded with two optional tasks: a named page finding task and an efficiency task. These three tasks were continued in 2006, with 20 groups submitting runs to the adhoc retrieval task, 11 groups submitting runs to the named page finding task...

Overview of the TREC 2004 Terabyte Track

The Terabyte Track explores how adhoc retrieval and evaluation techniques can scale to terabyte-sized collections. For TREC 2004, our first year, 50 new adhoc topics were created and evaluated over a a 426GB collection of 25 million documents taken from the .gov Web domain. A total of 70 runs were submitted by 17 groups. Along with the top documents, each group reported average query times, ind...

Amberfish at the TREC 2004 Terabyte Track

The TREC 2004 Terabyte Track evaluated information retrieval in largescale text collections, using a set of 25 million documents (426 GB). This paper gives an overview of our experiences with this collection and describes Amberfish, the text retrieval software used for the experiments.
