Andrea Esuli, Alessandro Fabris, Alejandro Moreo, Fabrizio Sebastiani · The information retrieval series · 2023
Abstract This chapter looks at other aspects of the “quantification landscape” that have not been covered in the previous chapters, and discusses the evolution of quantification research, from its beginnings to the most recent quantification-based “shared tasks”; the landscape of quantification-based, publicly available software libraries; visualization tools specifically oriented to displaying the results of quantification-based experiments; and other tasks in data science that present important similarities with quantification. This chapter also presents the results of experiments, that we have carried out ourselves, in which we compare many of the methods discussed in Chapter 2 on a common testing infrastructure.
