Abstract

In this paper, we present a new model for the assessment of Geographic Relevance. This model is drawn from Okapi BM25, thus it takes into account not only a score for each dimension of relevance but also the distribution of these scores within the collection. Preliminary results suggest that the relevance estimation of top-ranked objects is more sensitive to small changes in the user context.
