About the Track

The goal of the CLEF Cross-Language Speech Retrieval (CLSR) track is to develop and evaluate systems for ranked retrieval of spontaneous converational speech.

Participation in the track is very easy - at a minimum, teams can treat it as a simple CLIR (or even monolingual IR) task. One of our central goals is to create a community that has both interest in and experience with IR in collections of spontaneous conversational speech.
