2 TREC OpenSearch OpenSearch is a new evaluation paradigm for IR. The experimentation platform is an existing search engine. Researchers have the opportunity to replace components of this search engine and evaluate these components using interactions with real, unsuspecting users of this search engine. TREC OpenSearch 2

70 Discussion Task details Query selection Relevance assessments (!) Simulations Reproducibility TREC OpenSearch 12

71 Discussion - Task Details Document format to be discussed full articles may not (always) be possible metadata Collection Statistics? Author graph? Historical interactions?? TREC OpenSearch 13

72 Discussion - Query Selection Volume Head but few + higher sensitivity - not so interesting? Torso but many + more interesting? - lower sensitivity Mix of both? Language Type TREC OpenSearch 14

73 Discussion - Relevance Assessments Relevance assessments (for some queries) Compare Cranfield-style evaluation to OpenSearch-style evaluation Participants bidding on queries? No assessments (for the first year)? TREC OpenSearch 15

74 Discussion - Simulations Simulate a search engine Queries sampled according to frequency from log Noisy click model to produce interactions So that participants can verify their systems TREC OpenSearch 16

75 Discussion - Repeatability/Reproducibility Share all interactions after the test period? Have multiple test periods?? TREC OpenSearch 17
