چکیده
This paper describes the 1998 TREC-7 Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) Track which implemented an evaluation of retrieval of broadcast news excerpts using a combination of automatic speech recognition and information retrieval technologies. The motivations behind the SDR Track and background regarding its development and implementation are discussed. The SDR evaluation collection and topics are described and summaries and analyses of the results of the track are presented. Alternative metrics for automatic speech recognition as applicable to retrieval applications are also explored. Finally, plans for future SDR tracks are described.

متن کاملTREC - 7 Experiments at the University
The University of Maryland participated in three TREC-7 tasks: ad hoc retrieval, cross-language retrieval, and spoken document retrieval. The principal focus of the work was evaluation of merging techniques for cross-language text retrieval from mixed language collections. The results show that biasing the merging strategy in favor of documents in the query language can be helpful. Ad hoc and s...
