PREFERENCE JUDGEMENTS FOR RELEVANCE
First Claim
1. A system effectuated on a machine that at least one of trains or evaluates ranking techniques by at least one of employing or obtaining relative preference judgments, comprising:
- a component that retrieves a set of documents from a storage device, combines the set of documents with a judgment task received via an interface to form a comparative selection panel and presents the comparative selection panel for evaluation by an assessor, the component requests the assessor to make a selection as to which document included in the set of documents most satisfies the query, the component produces a ranked comparative assessment of the set of documents based at least in part on the selection elicited from the assessor.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides a system that trains or evaluates ranking techniques by employing or obtaining relative preference judgments. The system can include mechanisms that retrieve a set of documents from a storage device, combine the set of documents with a query orjudgment task received via an interface to form a comparative selection panel, and present the comparative selection panel for evaluation by an assessor. The system further requests the assessor to make a selection as to which document included in the set of documents and presented in the comparative selection panel most satisfies the query or judgment task, and thereafter produces a comparative assessment of the set of documents based on the selections elicited from the assessor and associated with the set of documents.

11. A machine implemented method that one or more of trains or evaluates ranking techniques by one or more of utilizing or acquiring relative preference judgments, comprising:
-
obtaining a plurality of documents from at least one of a storage device or a network; receiving a judgment task utilized by an assessor for a comparative evaluation of the plurality of documents; generating a selection panel that includes at least one document from the plurality of documents or the judgment task for evaluation by the assessor; presenting the selection panel to the assessor and receiving a response from the assessor; comparatively ranking the response from the assessor with a previously elicited response from the assessor; and producing a ranked list of documents based at least in part on the ranking of the response from the assessor. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system that trains or evaluates ranking methodologies by employing or obtaining relative preference judgments from assessors, comprising:
-
means for producing a comparative selection panel that includes a query and a set of documents, the query and the set of documents included in the comparative selection panel based on a result from a means for utilizing a trainable probabilistic model; means for ranking a response from the assessors based on a previously elicited response from the assessors; and means for generating a ranked list of assessments associated with the set of documents based at least in part on a result obtained from the means for ranking. - View Dependent Claims (20)
