There are three very distinct tasks in the
2008 Ad-Hoc Track. The aim is to test both CL and IR aspects in a multilingual
context.
The main task offers monolingual and
cross-language search on library catalog records in English, French, and
German, organised in collaboration with The European Library
(TEL). The second task focuses more on linguistic issues, offering retrieval
on test collections in languages thta pose processing challenges. . The third task is the robust task which
aims at assessing whether word sense
disambiguated (WSD) data does impact on IR system performance.

Robust-WSD
Robust-WSD
aims at exploring the contribution of Word Sense Disambiguation to monolingual
and multilingual Information Retrieval. The organizers of the task will
provide documents and topics which have been automatically tagged with Word
Senses from WordNet using several state-of-the-art Word Sense Disambiguation
systems.
The
Robust-WSD task will use two languages often used in previous CLEF campaigns
(English, Spanish). Documents will be in English, and topics in both English
and Spanish. The documents collections are based on the widely used LA94 and
GH95 news collections.
