Class PrecisionAtK

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    NamedWriteable, Writeable, ToXContent, ToXContentObject, EvaluationMetric

    public class PrecisionAtK
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements EvaluationMetric
    Metric implementing Precision@K (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_retrieval#Precision_at_K).
    By default documents with a rating equal or bigger than 1 are considered to be "relevant" for this calculation. This value can be changes using the relevant_rating_threshold` parameter.
    The `ignore_unlabeled` parameter (default to false) controls if unrated documents should be ignored. The `k` parameter (defaults to 10) controls the search window size.

      • PrecisionAtK

        public PrecisionAtK​(int threshold,
                            boolean ignoreUnlabeled,
                            int k)
        Metric implementing Precision@K.
        Parameters:
        threshold - ratings equal or above this value will be considered relevant.
        ignoreUnlabeled - Controls how unlabeled documents in the search hits are treated. Set to 'true', unlabeled documents are ignored and neither count as true or false positives. Set to 'false', they are treated as false positives.
        k - controls the window size for the search results the metric takes into account

      • writeTo

        public void writeTo​(StreamOutput out)
                     throws java.io.IOException
        Specified by:
        writeTo in interface Writeable
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • getRelevantRatingThreshold

        public int getRelevantRatingThreshold()
        Return the rating threshold above which ratings are considered to be "relevant" for this metric. Defaults to 1.
      • getIgnoreUnlabeled

        public boolean getIgnoreUnlabeled()
        Gets the 'ignore_unlabeled' parameter.
      • forcedSearchSize

        public java.util.OptionalInt forcedSearchSize()
        Description copied from interface: EvaluationMetric
        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.
        Specified by:
        forcedSearchSize in interface EvaluationMetric
        Returns:
        the number of search hits this metrics requests
      • evaluate

        public EvalQueryQuality evaluate​(java.lang.String taskId,
                                         SearchHit[] hits,
                                         java.util.List<RatedDocument> ratedDocs)
        Compute precisionAtN based on provided relevant document IDs.
        Specified by:
        evaluate in interface EvaluationMetric
        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:
        precision at n for above SearchResult list.
