**What?**
Wikimedia Foundation's Research team has partnered with the [[ https://fair-trec.github.io/ | Fair Ranking Track ]] at [[ https://trec.nist.gov/ | TREC ]] (a long-standing text retrieval benchmarking conference) for 2020. As a partner, our role is to work with the track organizers to identify and provide a Wikimedia related dataset and a specific question for the participants of the track to work/compete on. (For example, in 2019, the track partnered with Semantic Scholar from the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence in designing a competition for fair ranking of scholarly paper abstracts).
**Who runs the competition?**
National Institute of Standards and Technology ([[ https://www.nist.gov/ | NIST ]]) and the organizers are the same as 2019. (check https://fair-trec.github.io).
NIST interests are in how we measure and audit systems in terms of fairness.
**Coordinator**
@leila will act as the coordinator and point of contact on WMF's end (for now).
