CLEF & TrebleCLEF CLEF 2009 Workshop 30 September – 2 October, Corfu, Greece CLEF 2008 & 2009 is an activity of the TrebleCLEF Coordination Action under the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Commission. TrebleCLEF organises a set of dissemination activities in the multilingual information access field.

  21. Treble-CLEF The CLEF research results have led to development of a new generation of multilingual retrieval system prototypes BUT lack of technology transfer Treble-CLEF extends the CLEF activity by: continuing to promote MLIA R&D via evaluation campaigns; providing a consistent training activity: tutorials, workshops, summer school; producing best practice guidelines for system implementation; providing resources to encourage the multilingual system development. www.trebleclef.eu CLEF 2009 Workshop 30 September – 2 October, Corfu, Greece

  22. Approach • Evaluation • test collections and laboratory evaluation • user evaluation • log analysis • Best Practices & Guidelines • system-oriented aspects of MLIA applications • collaborative user studies • user-oriented aspects of MLIA interfaces • Dissemination and Training • tutorials • workshops • summer school CLEF 2009 Workshop 30 September – 2 October, Corfu, Greece
