Abstract
This report is an introduction to the work of the TREC-7 Interactive Track with its goal of investigating interactive information retrieval by examining the process as well as the results.Eight research groups ran a total of 15 interactive information retrieval (IR) systems on a shared problem: a question-answering task, eight statements of information need, and a collection of 210,158 articles from the Financial Times of London 1991-1994.This report summarizes the shared experimental framework, which for TREC-7 was designed to support analysis and comparison of system performance only within sites. The report refers the reader to separate discussions of the experiments performed by each participating group - their hypotheses, experimental systems, and results. The papers from each of the participating groups and the raw and evaluated results are available via the TREC home page (trec.nist.gov).Citation
