SIGA, a System to Manage Information Retrieval Evaluations

This paper provides an overview of the current version of SIGA, a system that supports the organization of information retrieval (IR) evaluations. SIGA was recently used in Págico, an evaluation contest where both automatic and human participants competed to find answers to 150 topics in the Portuguese Wikipedia, and we describe its new capabilities in this context as well as provide preliminary results from Págico.
