Towards Functional Benchmarking of Information Retrieval Models

Experimental approaches are widely employed to benchmark the performance of an information retrieval (IR) system. Measurements in terms of recall and precision are computed as performance indicators. Although they are good at assessing the retrieval ...

Information retrieval models are reviewed from the viewpoint of retrieval needs that cause different types of retrieval tasks. A generalized iterative query-response scheme of the retrieval process is presented. The characteristics of the system of ...
