Background Information The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Information Technology Laboratory's (ITL) Information Access Division's Retrieval Group works with industry, academia and other government agencies to promote the use of more effective and efficient techniques for manipulating information not specifically structured for automatic use--especially the browsing, searching, and presentation of that information. Accurate evaluation of the capabilities of current information access systems is a prerequisite to improving the systems' capabilities. Human-created annotations are essential to the evaluation of information systems. Over the years, these evaluations have helped improve the overall state-of-the-art in information retrieval systems. The work of the Retrieval Group includes the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC). One of the goals in TREC 2016 is to evaluate the quality of systems that can provide explicit answers (as opposed to document lists) to questions posed by users of a web-based question portal. Note: Reference attachments for combined synopsis/solicitation.
