Joshua Hartman created DATAFU-60: ------------------------------------ Summary: Support NDCG calculation within a UDF Key: DATAFU-60 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DATAFU-60 Project: DataFu Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Joshua Hartman
Ndcg is a common evaluation metric for the quality of a list of items presented to a user. It is an especially common metric used in the search literature. This feature request is to implement a udf to calculate ndcg. NDCG can be calculated using any function to represent the value of a position. Several useful functions should be available as part of the datafu library. First is the standard 1/logarithmic discounting factor. Another option should be the ability to supply a custom positional value for any range of positions in the case that a positional "value" is already well understood. However, the actual discounting function used should be easily pluggable in the event something custom is needed -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
