Give me just one highly relevant document: P-measure

Published: 06 August 2006 Publication History

Abstract

We introduce an evaluation metric called P-measure for the task of retrieving <ione highly relevant document. It models user behaviour in practical tasks such as known-item search, and is more stable and sensitive than Reciprocal Rank which cannot handle graded relevance.
