Abstract

TREC 2021 is the thirtieth edition of the Text REtrieval Conference (TREC). The main goal of TREC is to create the evaluation infrastructure required for large-scale testing of retrieval technology. This includes research on best methods for evaluation as well as development of the evaluation materials themselves. "Retrieval technology" is broadly interpreted to include a variety of techniques that enable and/or facilitate access to information that is not specifically structured for machine use. The TREC 2021 meeting was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) November 15–19, 2021.
