Information Retrieval: A Biomedical and Health Perspective (2020, unknown): “[333] noted that only 2 of 25 RCTs where prior trials existed described the new results in the proper context of prior trials.”
User performance versus precision measures for simple search tasks (2006, methodology): “Allan et al. [1] conﬁrm this result (using bpref), but also show that for larger, speciﬁc increases in bpref, users do beneﬁt on the instance recall task.”
A comparison of user and system query performance predictions (2010, background): “However, there has been related work examining and perhaps challenging the relationship between system-centered retrieval eﬀectiveness measures and actual user performance in traditional IR settings [1, 16, 28, 30].”
Rank-biased precision for measurement of retrieval effectiveness (2008, background): “These issues are signi.cant, but al¨al¨they are separate from the topic of this article, and binary relevance judgments do provide a basis for assessing the utility of retrieval systems [Allan et al. 2005].”
Test Collection Based Evaluation of Information Retrieval Systems (2010, background): “[6] studied the problem of locating relevant text fragments, called facets.”
