Web page Classification Track

Overview

For this track the standard procedure is used.

Test Collection

Task Description for Participating Systems

Just as for the web site classification track each participant is granted access to the training set, DMOZ and Narod.ru collections. The task is to assign a topic from the training set to each web page. The difference to the web site classification track is that web sites are used only for training.

Expected result is an ordered list of web pages for each category.

All the documents from the Narod.ru collection should be classified by each participant, i.e. not only documents from the archives narod.*, but also from narod_training.*.
