Follow up to precision/recall curve question



This is just a follow up to the mail I sent regarding the plotting of precision/recall curves…I realize that the example in the slides shows 10 relevant documents and it may seem as if this is the reason for plotting the 11 point curve however, this is not the case…

 

11 point curves are frequently used irrespective of the number of relevant documents…for some additional information please refer to these links, send me a mail, or stop by and see me
