[Wiki-research-l] TREC Fair Ranking track on WikiProjects

This year, "Fair Ranking" is returning to TREC (the Text REtrieval Conference: https://trec.nist.gov/). This is an opportunity to participate in a "coopetition" to develop and evaluate techniques for fair ranking in an information retrieval setting. This year the focus will be on identifying Wikipedia articles that are relevant to WikiProjects, which is a really interesting challenge! == Registration TREC is a little different from a lot of conferences - you register to participate before you do the work, and the conference itself is presenting on what you've done - but there's a "How to TREC" guide that will hopefully demystify the process: https://fair-trec.github.io/how-to-trec If you have questions, the best way is to post them to the Google group: https://fair-trec.github.io/how-to-trec#where-can-i-ask-more-questions It looks like there is a February 23rd deadline to submit an intention to participate (that is non-binding though so don't hesitate to register): https://trec.nist.gov/pubs/call2021.html Best, Isaac (a co-organizer of the track) -- Isaac Johnson (he/him/his) -- Research Scientist -- Wikimedia Foundation
