our talk
Every search engineer ordinarily struggles with the task of evaluating how well a search engine is performing. Improving the correctness and effectiveness of a search system requires a set of tools which help measure the direction where the system is going. The talk will describe the Rated Ranking Evaluator from a developer perspective. RRE is an open source search quality evaluation tool, that could be used for producing a set of deliverable reports and that could be integrated within a continuous integration infrastructure.
