NTCIR-19 Task Proposal Submission Deadline Extended to April 7th

NTCIR-19 task proposal submission deadline extended to April 7th, encouraging proposals on information access technologies and large language models.

The submission deadline for NTCIR-19 task proposals has been extended to April 7th (Anywhere on Earth). This extension provides more time for researchers to submit their proposals for the evaluation of information access technologies.

NTCIR-19 encourages task proposals that focus on the evaluation of the quality of content generated by large language models (LLMs) as well as information access exploiting LLMs, including generative information retrieval (IR), IR using generative queries, conversational search using generated utterances, evaluation using LLM (relevance judgements or language annotation using LLM), and RAG.

Two types of task proposals are accepted: Core tasks and Pilot tasks. Core tasks foster research on a particular information access problem, while Pilot tasks focus on novel information access problems with uncertainties in task design or organization.

Organizers are expected to run their tasks mainly with their own funding and make the task as self-sustaining as possible. A part of the fund can be supported by NTCIR, known as ‘seed funding.’

Please submit your task proposal as a PDF file via EasyChair by April 7, 2025 (Anywhere on Earth). https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ntcir19proposal
