    Dear all,

    It is our pleasure to announce the release of the development dataset
    for the CLEF-QA 2007 pilot track Question Answering on Speech
    Transcripts (QAst). We take this opportunity to launch a second call
    for participation for this evaluation exercise.

    QAst is a new CLEF-QA track that aims to provide an evaluation
    framework for QA technology (currently just factual QA) on speech
    transcripts, both manual and automatic. A detailed description of this
    track is available here:
    http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~qast
    Some important dates:

    # 15 June 2007: evaluation set released
    # 30 June 2007: submission deadline

    The pilot track is organized jointly by the Technical University of
    Catalonia (UPC), the Evaluations and Language resources Distribution
    Agency (ELDA) and Laboratoire d'Informatique pour la Mécanique et les
    Sciences de l'Ingénieur (LIMSI).

    If you are interested in participating please send us an email (at
    turmo@lsi.upc.edu) with "QAst" in the subject line.

    Best regards,
    QAst organizers
