Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE)

The 17th meeting of Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation will be held at Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi, India. FIRE was started in 2008 with the aim of building a South Asian counterpart for TREC, CLEF, and NTCIR. It has since evolved continuously to support and encourage research within the information retrieval community and has acted as a unique platform to foster interaction between the researchers of academia and industry. FIRE has continuously adapted to meet the new challenges in multilingual information access and frameworks for large-scale evaluation of information retrieval methods, primarily focusing on text.
