Abstract
The robust retrieval track explores methods for improving the the consistency of retrieval technology by focusing on poorly performing topics. The task in the track is a traditional ad hoc retrieval task, but new evaluation measures emphasize a system’s least effective topics. The 2004 edition of the track used 250 topics and required systems to rank the topics by predicted difficulty.
