We're also working on a paper, but had settled on the adaptive
filtering work that we've done for TREC as the topic. We're
generating a more comprehensive set of runs than were done for the
TREC submission, given the limits imposed there on the number of runs
a group can submit. With that - we didn't plan on doing any
TDT-flavor runs for the special issue.

James, how do you see this fitting in with the TDT book? We included
the TDT results that we already have in hand in our chapter...
