On the Feasibility and Robustness of Pointwise Evaluation of Query Performance Prediction

no code implementations1 Apr 2023 Suchana Datta, Debasis Ganguly, Derek Greene, Mandar Mitra

Despite the retrieval effectiveness of queries being mutually independent of one another, the evaluation of query performance prediction (QPP) systems has been carried out by measuring rank correlation over an entire set of queries.

An Analysis of Variations in the Effectiveness of Query Performance Prediction

no code implementations13 Feb 2022 Debasis Ganguly, Suchana Datta, Mandar Mitra, Derek Greene

An important characteristic of QPP evaluation is that, since the ground truth retrieval effectiveness for QPP evaluation can be measured with different metrics, the ground truth itself is not absolute, which is in contrast to other retrieval tasks, such as that of ad-hoc retrieval.
