TREC 1993 Routing dataset

In TREC the routing task is represented by using known topics and known relevant documents for those topics, but new data for testing. The participants are given a set of known (or training) topics, along with a set of documents, including known relevant documents for those topics. The topics consist of natural language text describing a user's information need. The topics are used to create a set of queries (the actual input to the retrieval system) which are then used against the training documents.
