Call for prototypes, demos and research summaries

To the NYT Annotated Corpus Community,

Recently, I was invited to be invited to deliver the closing keynote
address at the 2009 Semantic Technologies Conference in San Jose
California. Part of my remarks will focus on The New York Times
Annotated Corpus and I hope to include examples of the exciting work

All,

I realize that this doesn't provide a whole lot of queries but its
better than nothing.

You get the top 25 daily, weekly, and monthly queries on nytimes.com
along with related queries for each query. The data is updated
hourly. I'll poke around at The Times and see if an expanded version

Re: Queries for Ad-hoc Retrieval Experiments on NYT Corpus

I'd be interested in hearing about this too, if anyone has looked into it.

The lack of availability of real-world query logs is a huge impediment to
information retrieval research. At least in web search, it seems like
private companies (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft) are making academics obsolete

Queries for Ad-hoc Retrieval Experiments on NYT Corpus

2009-04-14T12:38:33Z

Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone has conducted ad-hoc retrieval
experiments using the NYT corpus.

If so, which queries did you use? Of course it would be great if a
"real" workload (no click log needed!) was available (e.g., as
observed on the site search of New York Times).

Thanks a lot and kind regards,

Neal,

To your questions:

The kind of work you describe is not permitted under the LDC
license. That being said, we are very open to discussing a
commercial licensing arrangement to our data. Please follow up with
me at sand...@nytimes.com to discuss specifics.

The controlled indexing vocabulary is "included" with the corpus

Dan,

The Times and I understand the value of public facing prototypes and
will look into this issue. As soon as we have a definitive answer we
will report it back to this forum.

All the best,

Evan

Evan,

I see that the license is non-commercial. Some of the Licenses in
the LDC allow creating derivative data.

Example:
b. Summaries, analyses and interpretations of the linguistic
properties of the text may be derived and published, provided it is
not possible to reconstruct the information from these summaries.

Evan,

What are the guidelines around using the corpus in publicly facing
demonstrations? Such demos could generate massive publicity around the
corpus, not to mention spurring a healthy competition among information
access vendors.

API: getting the publication date

2008-12-16T01:33:48Z

Hi,

In the NYTCorpusDocument class it would be good to have a method to
return the original publication date string, not the Date object. I am
referring to the value of nitf/head/pubda...@date.public ation
(sorry if I missed sth and it is already possible to do it).
