CLEF
September 9 @ 8:00 am – September 12 @ 5:00 pm BST
Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum
Information Access Evaluation meets Multilinguality, Multimodality, and Visualization
*CFP Open until 6th May* CLEF 2025 is the 16th CLEF conference continuing the popular CLEF campaigns which have run since 2000 contributing to the systematic evaluation of information access systems, primarily through experimentation on shared tasks.
Building on the format first introduced in 2010, CLEF 2025 consists of an independent peer-reviewed conference on a broad range of issues in the fields of multilingual and multimodal information access evaluation, and a set of labs and workshops designed to test different aspects of mono and cross-language Information retrieval systems. Together, the conference and the lab series will maintain and expand upon the CLEF tradition of community-based evaluation and discussion on evaluation issues.
As a well-known figure in the search community, an experienced and popular conference speaker and the organiser and host of many events including 5 years of Haystack, I can help you create and run events to inform, educate and inspire. I’m also available as a keynote or track speaker – watch some of my past talks. To discuss your event, get in touch.
