You might also have a look at the quality package under contrib/ benchmark, as it works w/ trec files, etc. I am not sure what the similarity parameter is you are referring to, but if I recall (and it has been a while), in the rel. files the last number is either 1 or 0, depending on whether your system thinks the document is relevant or not. Thus, you could do something like score > 0 ? 1 : 0 for outputting that value, or some variation of that.

If that isn't right, I would dig into some of the TREC papers, especially the overview paper published each conference, my guess is one of them will explain it in more detail, or perhaps any docs for the trec_eval program will.

Hello,

I am using treceval for precision, recall calculation. Treceval takes Relevance judgments and Result file as an arguments to calculate the precision, recall. There is a similarity parameter in the result file.

The score which is calculated by Lucene is equal to that similarity parameter. Kindly guide me.

Regards,
Liaqat
