How Discriminative Are Your Qrels? How To Study the Statistical Significance of Document Adjudication Methods

no code implementations18 Aug 2023 David Otero, Javier Parapar, Nicola Ferro

Researchers evaluate the quality of those methods by measuring the correlation between the known gold ranking of systems under the full collection and the observed ranking of systems under the lower-cost one.

Query Performance Prediction for Neural IR: Are We There Yet?

1 code implementation20 Feb 2023 Guglielmo Faggioli, Thibault Formal, Stefano Marchesin, Stéphane Clinchant, Nicola Ferro, Benjamin Piwowarski

On top of that, in lexical-oriented scenarios, QPPs fail to predict performance for neural IR systems on those queries where they differ from traditional approaches the most.

Response to Moffat's Comment on "Towards Meaningful Statements in IR Evaluation: Mapping Evaluation Measures to Interval Scales"

no code implementations22 Dec 2022 Marco Ferrante, Nicola Ferro, Norbert Fuhr

Moffat's comments build on: (i) misconceptions about the representational theory of measurement, such as what an interval scale actually is and what axioms it has to comply with; (ii) they totally miss the central concept of meaningfulness.

A deep learning approach for detection and localization of leaf anomalies

no code implementations7 Oct 2022 Davide Calabrò, Massimiliano Lupo Pasini, Nicola Ferro, Simona Perotto

The detection and localization of possible diseases in crops are usually automated by resorting to supervised deep learning approaches.

Towards Feature Selection for Ranking and Classification Exploiting Quantum Annealers

1 code implementation9 May 2022 Maurizio Ferrari Dacrema, Fabio Moroni, Riccardo Nembrini, Nicola Ferro, Guglielmo Faggioli, Paolo Cremonesi

By removing redundant or noisy features, the accuracy of ranking or classification can be improved and the computational cost of the subsequent learning steps can be reduced.

repro_eval: A Python Interface to Reproducibility Measures of System-oriented IR Experiments

1 code implementation19 Jan 2022 Timo Breuer, Nicola Ferro, Maria Maistro, Philipp Schaer

In this work we introduce repro_eval - a tool for reactive reproducibility studies of system-oriented information retrieval (IR) experiments.

Towards Meaningful Statements in IR Evaluation. Mapping Evaluation Measures to Interval Scales

no code implementations7 Jan 2021 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 produced questionable results.

How to Measure the Reproducibility of System-oriented IR Experiments

1 code implementation26 Oct 2020 Timo Breuer, Nicola Ferro, Norbert Fuhr, Maria Maistro, Tetsuya Sakai, Philipp Schaer, Ian Soboroff

Replicability and reproducibility of experimental results are primary concerns in all the areas of science and IR is not an exception.
