  11. Test Collection of Mention Resolution Test Collections Enron-all Enron-subset Sager Shapiro

  12. Evaluation • Task • named-mention  ranked list of people • Measures • Mean Reciprocal Rank • Success @ K • Success @ 1 • Confidence-based scoring

  13. Limitations (Mention Resolution) • Small number of queries • Only resolved by Enron employees • Much easier • Most of participants are outsides • Measures focus only on accuracy

  14. Identity-Content Interplay SocialContext Search for People Search for Content TopicalContext

  15. W3C Collection • Set of mailing lists • public not private • Topically-oriented • ~175,000 emails • Introduced at TREC 2005 • 50 topics (x 2 years) • relevance judgments available for ad-hoc retrieval

  16. Research Problems (W3C) • Expert Finding • Topic  ranked list of experts • Know-item Retrieval • Query  ranked list of emails • Discussion Search (i.e., ad-hoc retrieval) • Pro/con retrieval • Query  ranked list of emails

  17. Topic Type Analysis Find categories amenable to pro/con classification (TREC 2005-Enterprise Track)

  18. Limitations (Pro/Con Retrieval) • Not private/personal communication • Mailing lists  receivers are hidden • Topical categories are unbalanced • Developed by researchers NOT users

  19. Related Projects • Others working with CMU’s Enron emails • Berkeley, CMU, U Mass, SIAM Workshop • University of Southern California ISI/ICT • eArchivarius, Postel collection (Anton Leuski) • Georgia Tech Research Institute PERPOS • Presidential records (Bill Underwood)

  20. Conclusion • Two email test collections • Public • Hundreds of thousands of emails • Annotated emails and transcripts • Tasks and ground truth • Need for “real” user needs • Development of evaluation measures for utility
