2020-B Guidelines and Data Release

[Cody Buntain]

Good morning/afternoon/evening, all!

The TREC-IS website has been updated with data and official guidelines for 2020-B

http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~richardm/TREC_IS/

All data is available for download now. Our current mechanism for making data available necessitates some throttling, so I encourage people to start downloading early, as we’re making available 274,929 new crisis tweets across 14 events and 329,717 COVID-specific tweets from nine geographic locations.

Deadline for submission remains September 24.

We also have the TREC-IS 2021 Planning Workshop recording available here: http://cody.bunta.in/bitbucket/TREC-IS.Workshop.20200810.mp4 

Please reach out here or on Slack for any questions!

-All the best,

The TREC-IS Coordinators
