TREC-COVID: Building a Pandemic Retrieval Test Collection
Researchers, clinicians, and policy makers involved with the response to COVID-19 are constantly searching for reliable information on the virus and its impact. This presents a unique opportunity for the information retrieval (IR) and text processing communities to contribute to the response to this pandemic, as well as to study methods for quickly standing up information systems for similar future events. The results of the TREC-COVID Challenge will identify answers for some of today’s questions while building infrastructure to improve tomorrow’s search systems.
TREC-COVID will follow the TREC model for building IR test collections through community evaluations of search systems. The document set to be used in the challenge is the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19). This is a collection of biomedical literature articles that will be updated weekly. Accordingly, TREC-COVID will consist of a series of rounds, with each round using a later version of the document set and a larger set of COVID-related topics.
