The simplest evaluation measures for XML information retrieval that could possibly work

چکیده
This paper reviews several evaluation measures developed for evaluating XML information retrieval (IR) systems. We argue that these measures, some of which are currently in use by the INitiative for the Evaluation of XML Retrieval (INEX), are complicated, hard to understand, and hard to explain to users of XML IR systems. To show the value of keeping things simple, we report alternative evaluation results of official evaluation runs submitted to INEX 2004 using simple metrics, and show its value for INEX.

Purpose: Traditionally, there have many metrics for evaluating the search engine, nevertheless various researchers’ proposed new metrics in recent years. Aware of this new metrics is essential to conduct research on evaluation of the search engine field. So, the purpose of this study was to provide an analysis of important and new metrics for evaluating the search engines. Methodology: This is ...
متن کاملEvaluation Metrics
An evaluation metric is used to evaluate the effectiveness of information retrieval systems and to justify theoretical and/or pragmatical developments of these systems. It consists of a set of measures that follow a common underlying evaluation methodology. There are many metrics that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of semi-structured text (XML) retrieval systems. These metrics are ba...
متن کاملOn Effectiveness Measures and Relevance Functions in Ranking INEX Systems
This paper investigates the effect of performance measures and relevance functions in comparing retrieval systems in INEX, an evaluation forum dedicated to XML retrieval. We focus on two interdependent challenges which arise when evaluating XML retrieval systems, namely weak ordering issue of retrieved lists and multivalued relevance scales. Our analysis provides empirical evidence about the re...
متن کاملFine Tuning INEX
Since 2002, INEX has been the benchmark for evaluating XML information retrieval (XML-IR) systems. INEX has based much of its evaluation methodology on that of existing workshops, albeit modified for the specific requirements of XML-IR. Due to some of the modifications, the time spent during evaluation phase of INEX takes a lot longer than comparable workshops. Here, we investigate ways to spee...
