| Abstract: | The Reliable Information Access (RIA) Workshop was held in the summer of 2003, with a goal of improved understanding of information
retrieval systems, in particular with regard to the variability of retrieval performance across topics. The workshop ran massive
cross-system failure analysis on 45 of the TREC topics and also performed cross-system experiments on pseudo-relevance feedback.
This paper presents an overview of that workshop, along with some preliminary conclusions from these experiments. Even if
this workshop was held 6 years ago, the issues of improving system performance across all topics is still critical to the
field and this paper, along with the others in this issue, are the first widely published full papers for the workshop. |
