*********************************************************************



The NTCIR-8 Workshop Meeting and the 3rd International Workshop on

Evaluating Information Access (EVIA 2010) will be held on June 15-18,

2010, at NII in Tokyo, Japan. Anybody who is interested in research

areas related to NTCIR, such as Information Retrieval, Question

Answering, Information Extraction, Text Mining and Data Engineering,

Machine Translation, is welcome to attend and join the discussion.



For the previous NTCIR Workshop Meeting which was held on Dec.16-18,

2008, more than 200 attendees from 17 different countries

contributed to discussion and exchanging the experiences with one

another. Among them about half were researchers participated in

the "task(s) -- shared experiment task(s)" set by NTCIR, and others

contributed to fruitful discussion.





At NTCIR-8 Meeting, active information access (IA) researchers will get

together again and share their experiences, and discuss the future plan

and the roadmap for leveraging the IA research.



NTCIR-8 has hosted the following six tasks.

   * Complex Cross-Lingual Question Answering

   * GeoTemporal Information Retrieval

   * Information Retrieval for Question Answering

   * Multilingual Opinion Analysis

   * Patent Mining (Classification and Information Retrieval)

   * Patent Translation

 * Community Question Answering (Pilot Task)



The overview and system papers will be presented at the Meeting

on DAY 2-4 (June 16-18).





Moreover we fortunately could host the exciting invited talks:



    * "Building Watson: A Grand Challenge in Automatic NL Question

       Answering"

       by David A. Ferrucci and Koichi Takeda (IBM Research)

http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-ws8/meeting/program-long-en.html#deepq

    * "Microsoft's Bing and User Behavior Evaluation"

      by John Nave (Principal Development Manager, Search Technology

      Center, Microsoft)

http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-ws8/meeting/program-long-en.html#bing



    * "CLEF, CLEF 2010, and PROMISEs: Perspectives for the

       Cross-Language Evaluation Forum" [Report from other

       evaluations]

       by Nicola Ferro (the University of Padua, Italy)

http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-ws8/meeting/program-long-en.html#clef





    The first talk is about an exciting grand challenge project

    to build a QA system which can understand complex questions

    and answer with enough precision and speed to compete on America's

    favorite quiz show, Jeopardy!.

    About the project:http://www.ibm.com/deepqa



    The second talk is about Microsoft's Bing which takes different

    approach to web search. The talk includes the vision and design

    principles and insights from research on user behaviors.



    The this talk is about CLEF, which is a real community-based IR

    evaluation campaign, and its achievments and the future plan in

    the new era.





The first day of the Meeting will be a Tutorial and EVIA 2010

(the Third International Workshop on Evaluating Information Access).





Online registration is available at:

http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-ws8/meeting/registration_ws8.html



Early Registration with less expensive fee is available until May 15th.

Please don't miss the opportunity.



The full registration fee for non-students includes one copy of

the proceedings (CD-ROM and printed abstract book), three lunches,
