Progress Report Guidelines

1. Outline what you’ve done, what worked, what didn’t
2. Describe how your system works
3. Indicate the software you are using, and alterations you had to make to it
4. If the QP component deviates from your design, describe how
5. Provide any output, results or evaluation
• You must have the output for the TREC 2005 questions, in a tab delimited format, which includes the question # and tag. (An example for the 2004 questions is in the dropbox.) For example:

1.1 NUM

1.2 DESC

1.3 LOC

…

• Accuracy, error scores could be useful, if you have them (e.g., if you held out data from TREC 2004 or the UIUC questions, and tested how well your system tagged them)
• Include any output your system generates, especially the output that will be relevant to the additional components (e.g., IR and QA)
