    The CLEF series of system evaluation campaigns aims at promoting
    research and development in mono- and cross-language information retrieval
    for European languages.

    Registration is now open for CLEF 2002.

    The main track in CLEF 2002 tests multilingual IR systems. Additional tracks
    will offer evaluation for bilingual and monolingual (non-English) systems on
    general-purpose and scientific test collections. There will also be a track
    testing
    interactive cross-language systems.

    The CLEF test collection for 2002 consists of a multilingual corpus of
    newspaper
    and newswire documents for English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch
    and Finnish plus collections of scientific documents in French and German.
    A standard set of topic statements from which participating systems can derive
    the queries will be released in all seven document languages plus many more
    including Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Swedish.
