Validating Simulations of User Query Variants
Timo Breuer, Norbert Fuhr, Philipp Schaer
System-oriented IR evaluations are limited to rather abstract understandings of real user behavior. As a solution, simulating user interactions provides a cost-efficient way to sup…
Towards Meaningful Statements in IR Evaluation. Mapping Evaluation Measures to Interval Scales
Marco Ferrante, Nicola Ferro, Norbert Fuhr
Recently, it was shown that most popular IR measures are not interval-scaled, implying that decades of experimental IR research used potentially improper methods, which may have pr…
