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.

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.

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.

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.

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