• 論文抄録 / 内容記述: Large-scale information retrieval evalution efforts such as TREC and NTCIR have always used binary-relevance evalution metrics even when graded relevance data were available. However the NTCIR-6 crosslingual task has finally announced that it will use graded-relevance metrics though only as additional metrics. This paper compares graded-relevance metrics in terms of the ability to control the balance between retrieving highly relevant documents and retrieving any relevant documents early in the ranked list. We argue and demonstrate that Q-measure is more flexible than normalised Discounted Cumulative Gain and generalised Average Precision. We then suggest a brief guideline for conducting a reliable information retrieval evalution with graded relevance.
