MedEval- A Swedish Medical Test Collection with Doctors and Patients User Groups

• MedEval is a Swedish medical test collection where assessments have been made, not only for topical relevance, but also for target reader group: Doctors or Patients. The user of the test collection can choose if s/he wishes to search in the Doctors or the Patients scenarios where the topical relevance assessments have been adjusted with consideration to user group, or to search in a scenario which regards only topical relevance. MedEval makes it possible to compare the effectiveness of search terms when it comes to retrieving documents aimed at the different user groups. MedEval is also the first medical Swedish test collection.
