Abstract

ADM (Average Distance Measure) is an IR effectiveness metric based on the assumptions of continuous relevance and retrieval. This paper presents some novel experimental results on two different test collections: TREC 8, re-assessed on 4-levels relevance judgments, and TREC 13 TeraByte collection. The results confirm that ADM correlation with standard measures is high, even when using less data, i.e., few documents.
