MUC
From Cohen Courses
Jump to navigationJump to searchThese datasets were created by MUC, the Message Understanding Conference.
The conference was not as important as the work needed to get into the conference. It was novel in that participants had to complete in the task in order to gain admission. The performance measure used in the tasks is F1, the geometric mean of precision and recall.
