TREC-COVID Dataset

TREC-COVID is a community evaluation designed to build a test collection that captures the information needs of biomedical researchers using the scientific literature during a pandemic. One of the key characteristics of pandemic search is the accelerated rate of change: the topics of interest evolve as the pandemic progresses and the scientific literature in the area explodes. The COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to capture this progression as it happens. TREC-COVID, in creating a test collection around COVID-19 literature, is building infrastructure to support new research and technologies in pandemic search.

TREC-COVID是一项旨在构建能够捕捉生物医学研究人员在疫情期间利用科学文献进行信息需求研究的测试集的社区评估。流行病搜索的一个关键特征是其变化的加速率：随着疫情的进展，感兴趣的议题不断演变，相关领域的科学文献也急剧增加。COVID-19大流行为我们提供了一个捕捉这一演变过程的机会。TREC-COVID在围绕COVID-19文献创建测试集的过程中，正在构建支持流行病搜索中新研究和新技术的基础设施。
