Method Detail

evaluate

EvalQueryQuality evaluate(String taskId,
                          SearchHit[] hits,
                          List<RatedDocument> ratedDocs)

Evaluates a single ranking evaluation case.

Parameters:

taskId - an identifier of the query for which the search ranking is evaluated

hits - the search result hits

ratedDocs - the documents that contain the document rating for this query case

Returns:

an EvalQueryQuality instance that contains the metric score with respect to the provided search hits and ratings

joinHitsWithRatings

static List<RatedSearchHit> joinHitsWithRatings(SearchHit[] hits,
                                                List<RatedDocument> ratedDocs)

Joins hits with rated documents using the joint _index/_id document key.

filterUnratedDocuments

static List<org.elasticsearch.index.rankeval.RatedDocument.DocumentKey> filterUnratedDocuments(List<RatedSearchHit> ratedHits)

Filter RatedSearchHits that do not have a rating.

combine

default double combine(Collection<EvalQueryQuality> partialResults)

Combine several EvalQueryQuality results into the overall evaluation score. This defaults to averaging over the partial results, but can be overwritten to obtain a different behavior.

forcedSearchSize

default OptionalInt forcedSearchSize()

Metrics can define a size of the search hits windows they want to retrieve by overwriting this method. The default implementation returns an empty optional.

Returns:

the number of search hits this metrics requests
