CLEF 2016 - Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum. Information Access Evaluation meets Multilinguality, Multimodality and Interaction

CLEF 2016 is the seventh CLEF conference continuing the popular CLEF campaigns which have run since 2000 contributing to the systematic evaluation of information access systems, primarily through experimentation on shared tasks. Building on the format first introduced in 2010, CLEF 2016 consists of an independent peer-reviewed conference on a broad range of issues in the fields of multilingual and multimodal information access evaluation, and a set of labs and workshops designed to test different aspects of mono and cross-language Information retrieval systems.
Together, the conference and the lab series will maintain and expand upon the CLEF tradition of community-based evaluation and discussion on evaluation issues.
CLEF 2016 will be hosted by the Computer Science Department of the School of Sciences and Technology of the University of Évora, Portugal, 5-8 September 2016.
