The evaluation process for the TREC Contextual Suggestion Track consumes substantial time and resources, taking place over several weeks and costing thousands of dollars in assessor remuneration. The track evaluates a point-of-interest recommendation task, using crowdsourced workers as a source of user profiles and judgments. Given the cost of assessment, we examine track data to provide guidance for future experiments on this task, particularly with respect to the number of assessors required. To provide insight, we first consider the potential impact of fewer assessors on the TREC 2013 experiments. We then provide recommendations for future experiments. Our goal is to minimize costs, while still meeting the requirements of those experiments.
