: Some measures such as mean average precision and recall level precision are considered as good system-oriented measures, because they concern both precision and recall that are t...
Electronic mail poses a number of unusual challenges for the design of information retrieval systems and test collections, including informal expression, conversational structure,...
We propose a mathematical framework for query selection as a mechanism for reducing the cost of constructing information retrieval test collections. In particular, our mathematica...
