A Theoretical Review of Relevance Judgments

적합 판단 영향 요인에 관한 이론적 고찰

  • Published : 1996.12.01

Abstract

Relevance judgments play a very important role in evaluation of information systems since the degree of success of the information retrieval depends on the relevance judgments. This article reviews the theoretical background of the concept of 'relevance' associated with information retrieval evaluation and tries to identify whether there is any factor that affects relevance judgments. By reviewing previous researches done in the information retrieval evaluation field, four variables have been identified as impacting factors, such as document surrogates presented to judges, the order of presentation, measuring devices of relevance judgments and judges.

정보검색시스템평가에서 적합 판단(relevance judgments)은 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 그 이유는 적합 판단의 결과에 따라 탐색성능이 결정되기 때문이다. 본 논문은 적합 판단과 관련하여 적합 개념의 이론적 배경을 역사적으로 고찰하고 적합개념이 적합판단에 미친 영향을 살펴보고자 한다. 또한 적합 판단과정에서 판단에 영향을 주는 요인이 있는지를 조사하고자 한다. 선행연구는 문들에 관한 문헌조사연구 결과는 적합 판단에 영향을 미치는 변인으로 다음의 네 종류의 변인이 파악되었다. 즉, 적합 판단근거로 제시되는 문헌대용물의 종류, 제시순서, 적합측정도구, 판단자 변인의 네 변인들은 적합 판단에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.
