Abstract

This paper describes a new test collection for passage retrieval from health-related Web resources in Spanish. The test collection contains 10,037 health-related documents in Spanish, 37 topics representing complex information needs formulated in a total of 167 natural language questions, and manual relevance assessments of text passages, pooled from multiple systems. This test collection is the first to combine search in a language beyond English, passage retrieval, and health-related resources and topics targeting the general public.
