Abstract
The INFILE@CLEF 2009 is the second edition of a track on the evaluation of cross-language adaptive filtering systems. It uses the same corpus as the 2008 track, composed of 300,000 newswires from Agence France Presse (AFP) in three languages: Arabic, English and French, and a set of 50 topics in general and specific domains (scientific and technological information). In 2009, we proposed two tasks : a batch filtering task and an interactive task to test adaptive methods. Results for the two tasks are presented in this paper.
