- Michiko Yasukawa, Fernando Diaz, Gregory Druck, Nobu Tsukada. 2014. Overview of the NTCIR-11 Cooking Recipe Search Task. Abstract: This paper describes an overview of the NTCIR-11[1] Cooking Recipe Search pilot task (the first RecipeSearch task). In this pilot task, we explore the information access tasks associated with cooking recipes. Our subtasks include ad hoc recipe search and recipe pairing. We summarize the English/Japanese test collections and our task design to develop the collections, and then report official results of the evaluation experiments. In this task, a corpus of approximately 100,000 English recipes have been used for the English search. For the Japanese search, a corpus of approximately 440,000 Japanese recipes has been used. In the ad hoc and recipe pairing subtasks, 500 and 100 queries have been developed, in English and Japanese, respectively. In the task, four research groups participated, and 31 search runs in total have been submitted.
