Hi everyone, I've created a first draft of a small glossary of terms we use in search, including internal-only vocab (PaulScore, Discernatron, RelForge, etc.) and some general vocab (recall, precision, F1, DCG, etc). The glossary lives on mediawiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Discovery/Search/Glossary This isn't an overly formal glossary, so some of my opinions may have made it into the definitions. Feel free to edit, expand, editorialize, or even suggest new items to be defined. Thanks, —Trey Trey Jones Software Engineer, Discovery Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ discovery mailing list discovery(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/discovery

Greetings Trey, A few months ago, I wrote-up a list on Quora of search metrics that I find useful. I may have passed a link to MWF folks before; if not you may find it interesting. https://www.quora.com/What-search-metrics-do-you-use- most-to-understand-how-your-search-is-performing-If-you- could-add-one-more-metric-to-help-what-would-it-be/answer/ Justin-Ormont?share=1 --justin On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 9:22 AM, Trey Jones <tjones(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: _______________________________________________ discovery mailing list discovery(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/discovery
