A mutual information-based framework for the analysis of information retrieval systems
Peter B. Golbus, Javed A. Aslam · 2013
We consider the problem of information retrieval evaluation and the methods and metrics used for such evaluations. We propose a probabilistic framework for evaluation which we use to develop new information-theoretic evaluation metrics. We demonstrate that these new metrics are powerful and generalizable, enabling evaluations heretofore not possible.
