How to calculate relevancy by the help of precision and recall

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I want to know how do we calculate relevancy with the help of precision and
reacall,

for example:-
A = The number of relevant records retrieved,
B = The number of relevantrecords not retrieved, and
C = The number of irrelevant records retrieved.
In this example A = 45, B = 35(80-45)and C = 15(60-45)
Recall =(45 / (45 + 35)) * 100% => 45/80 * 100% =56%
Precision =(45 / (45 + 15)) * 100% => 45/60 * 100% =75%

what would be its relevancy how how ?

Interesting topic. Not elasticsearch specific, but nevertheless
interesting. One method to calculate relevancy given the precision and
recall of a query is by using the F1 score:

F1 would be equal to 2 * (P * R) / (P + R), where P is the precision and R
is the recall.

I am glad someone is using elasticsearch as a search engine. Lately it
feels like it is mainly an analytical tool. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Ivan
