Evaluating document filtering systems over time

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a new way of measuring document filtering system performance over time.

• Performance is calculated per batch and a trend line is fitted to the results.

• Systems are compared by their performance at the end of the evaluation period.

• Important insights emerge by re-evaluating TREC KBA CCR runs of 2012 and 2013.
