TREC (Text REtrieval Conference)

The Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) is an annual event focused on improving information retrieval systems. Researchers, engineers, and organizations come together to evaluate different methods for finding relevant information in large texts, such as documents and web pages. TREC features various tasks and competitions, allowing participants to test their techniques and share their findings. By standardizing evaluation methods, TREC helps advance the field of search technology, making it easier for people to find accurate and useful information online. It plays a crucial role in enhancing the tools we use for searching and retrieving text-based data.
