Web Search

The Web Search Task aims to explore personalization in web search sessions based on user profiles and activity with the current and previous search sessions by this user. Task participants will be provided with user profile data and logs of search activity with the objective of improving search effectiveness over that achieved in the logged search sessions. A particular focus in PIR-CLEF 2019 will be on the exploration of methods and metrics for comparative of search sessions.
