LIS 7610/CSC 7481 Project Part 4: Batch Evaluation Results

Last updated: August 17 2011.

Here's a recap of the details of Project Part 2:

Describe the problem that you are solving (not much detail is needed on this for class purposes). [0.5-1 page]
Describe the design of your evaluation (generally including: what documents you used, where you got your topics, how many topics you used, how you got your relevance judgments, and what evaluation measure(s) you used). [1-2 pages]
Present your results using one or more tables and/or graphs (either way is fine), along with some explanatory comments. Probably easiest to present this in the same way as you will in your class presentation. [1-2 pages, most of which will be tables or graphs]
Analysis of your results. Don't get too carried away here -- the key is to draw some interesting conclusions from your evaluation. [1-2 pages]
Some appropriate way of ending (e.g., remarks on limitations, one or more suggestions for future work, etc.) [0.5 page]

The total should be about 6 pages. Several good examples are available from TREC or SIGIR (which is available through the ACM Digital Library). An ACM or SIGIR membership is needed to access the ACM Digital Library.

As with all project components, this report will be separately graded but the overall proect grade will be holistic (not some formulaic combination of the graded parts).
