Class IREvalAnalyser<QUERY,DOCUMENT extends Identifiable>

java.lang.Object

org.openimaj.experiment.evaluation.retrieval.analysers.IREvalAnalyser<QUERY,DOCUMENT>

Type Parameters:

QUERY - Type of query

DOCUMENT - Type of document

All Implemented Interfaces:

RetrievalAnalyser<IREvalResult,QUERY,DOCUMENT>

public class IREvalAnalyser<QUERY,DOCUMENT extends Identifiable>
extends Object
implements RetrievalAnalyser<IREvalResult,QUERY,DOCUMENT>

An evaluator suitable for any kind of result document from the RetrievalEngine. Retrieval statistics are calculated using IREval.

If the retrieved documents are instances of Ranked, then the rank is determined through Ranked.getRank(), otherwise the rank of each result document is automatically determined from its position in the results list.

Similarly, if the retrieved documents are instances of Scored, then the score is determined through Scored.getScore(), otherwise the score of each result document is set as 1.0/rank.

If the queries are Identifiable, then the query ids in the outputted SetRetrievalEvaluator are the ID of the query; if the queries are not Identifiable, then the Object.toString() method is used instead.
