CALL FOR NTCIR-16 TASK PROPOSALS
(Task Proposals Due: November 27, 2020)
NTCIR (NII Testbeds and Community for Information access Research) is a
series of evaluation conferences that mainly focus on information access
with East Asian languages and English. The first NTCIR conference
(NTCIR-1) took place in August/September 1999, and the latest NTCIR-15
conference will take place in December 2020. Research teams from all
over the world participate in one or more NTCIR tasks to advance the
state of the art and to learn from one another's experiences.
As the tasks being run at NTCIR-15
(http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-15/index.html) are reaching the
final stages, it is time to call for task proposals for the next NTCIR
(NTCIR-16) which will start in December 2020 and conclude in June 2022.
Task proposals will be reviewed by the NTCIR Program Committee,
following the schedule below:
* IMPORTANT DATES:
November 27, 2020 Task Proposal Submission Due
January 15, 2021 Acceptance Notification of Task Proposals
* NTCIR-16 TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
Jul 2021: Dataset Release*
Jul-Dec 2021: Dry Run*
Sep 2021-Feb 2022: Formal Run*
Feb 1, 2022: Evaluation Result Release
Feb 1, 2022: Draft Task Overview Paper Release
Mar 1, 2022: Draft Participant Paper Submission Due
May 1, 2022: All Camera-ready Paper Submission Due
Jun 2022: NTCIR-16 Conference & EVIA 2022 in NII, Tokyo, Japan
(* indicates that the schedule can be different for different tasks)
* WHO SHOULD SUBMIT NTCIR-16 TASK PROPOSALS?
Organizers of existing NTCIR-15 tasks are required to submit a new
proposal if they wish to continue them in NTCIR-16. We also welcome new
task proposals within the broad research area of information access.
To organize an evaluation task is to identify important research
problems, tackle them strategically by collaborating with other
researchers (both co-organizers and participants), build the necessary
evaluation framework to advance the state of the art, and make an impact
to the research community and to the future.
We encourage applicants to emphasize real-world applications of the
proposed task by using real-world data, real tasks, and addressing
real-world problems, and address a challenge in information access
technology evaluation such as a large amount of assessments required for
evaluation, privacy-preserving use of proprietary data, and live test
with real users.
* PROPOSAL TYPES:
We will accept two types of task proposals:
- Proposal of a Core task:
This is for fostering researches on a particular information access
problem by providing researchers with a common ground for evaluation.
New test collections and evaluation methods may be developed through the
collaboration between task organizers (proposers) and task participants.
At NTCIR-15, the core tasks are: DialEval-1, FinNum-2, QA
Lab-PoliInfo-2, SHINRA2020-ML, and WWW-3 (Details can be found at
http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-15/tasks.html)
- Proposal of a Pilot task:
This is recommended for organizers who proposed to focus on a novel
information access problem and there are uncertainties either in task
designing or organization. It may focus on a sub-problem of an
information access problem and may attract a smaller group of
participating teams than core tasks. However, it may grow into a core
challenging task in the next round of NTCIR. At NTCIR-15, the pilot
tasks are: Data Search and MART (Details can be found at
http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-15/tasks.html)
Organizers are expected to run their task mainly with their own funding
and to make the task as self-sustaining as possible. A part of the fund
can be supported by NTCIR, which is called "seed funding". It is usually
used for some limited purposes such as hiring relevance assessors. The
amount of the seed funding allocated to each task varies depending on
requirements and the total number of accepted tasks. Typical cases would
be: around 1M JPY for a core task and around 0.5M JPY for a pilot task
(note that the amount is subject to change).
Please submit your task proposal as a pdf file via EasyChair by Nov 27,
2020 (Anywhere on Earth).
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ntcir16taskproposal
* TASK PROPOSAL FORMAT:
The proposal should not exceed six pages in A4 single-column format. The
first five pages should contain the main part and appendix, and the last
page should contain only description about the data to be used in the
task. Please describe the data with as much detail as possible so that
we can help your data release process after the proposal is accepted. In
the past NTCIRs, it took much time to create memorandums for data
release, which sometimes slowed down the task organization.

- Legal / Ethical issues
(If the data can cause legal or ethical problems, please describe how
you propose to address them. e.g. some medical data may need approval
from an ethical committee. e.g. some Web data may need filtering for
excluding discriminative messages.)

society
