CLEF eHealth IR task - document collection available

[Liadh Kelly]

Dear all, 

The document collection for this year's CLEF eHealth Patient-Centred Information Retrieval challenge is the same as last year - ClueWeb 12 B13. 

What you need to do NOW to get this Clueweb12 B13 document collection and participate in the challenge:

There are 3 available options:

(a) if you already have it, you are done.

(b) if you do not have it, you can buy the collection (http://www.lemurproject.org/clueweb12.php/).

(c) if you do not have it and do not want to buy it, we are providing a FREE infrastructure to get access to Clueweb12 B13, both dataset and indexes (both Lemur and Terrier) through Microsoft Azure.

Details on how to obtain the document collection and indexes are available at https://sites.google.com/site/clefehealth2017/task-3. Every participant needs a license to use the ClueWeb document collection. As it might take several weeks to process, please apply for access to the collection now.

If you have not done so already you will need to first register for this year's CLEF eHealth Patient-Centred Information Retrieval task before you can obtain the document collection through Azure. Register at  https://sites.google.com/site/clefehealth2017/get-started
