Subject: How can IR Agents be evaluate ?
Hi,
I'm developing a IR system based on multi-agents paradigm, in my thesis.
My questions are :
How can IR agents be evaluate ?
Huh?
Does exist any standard evaluation methods ?
Huh?
Where can I find useful information ?
The sites themselves.
Is it correct to compare Internet Search Engine like Lycos, Altavista.... with IR agent systems ?
No.
I think that they are complementary, dont'you ?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks. Bye.
