| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
While existing research on Information Retrieval tend to focus on past or recent information, this research aimed to build an evaluation infrastructure for search technologies of future-related information retrieval. Based on a series of user studies, this research allowed us to identify the differences and similarities between future-related information searching behaviour and that of past or recency-related behaviour. In addition, we built and released a test collection that allowed researchers to evaluate the performance of future-related information retrieval systems. The test collection was used by the research groups in U.S., UK, France, Germany, India, China, and Japan, and helped their research and development on new search technologies.
