A quick update on the TREC Entity track, which reminds me of the classical good news-bad news situation. The good news is that we have just reached 100 members on the TREC entity mailing list. The bad news is that almost all of them are mute.
On a more serious account, the track guidelines need to get finalized very soon. One way of interpreting the silence is that people are happy with the proposed task and all details are clear. There may be other (less positive) interpretations. Whichever the case might be, in the absence of discussion, organizers will simply dictate what is to be done.
I wonder when the topics will be released.
Thanks
They are available now
