Report on the SIGIR 2013 workshop on modeling user behavior for information retrieval evaluation (MUBE 2013)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The SIGIR 2013 Workshop on Modeling User Behavior of Information Retrieval Evaluation brought together researchers interested in improving Cranfield-style evaluation of information retrieval through the modeling of user behavior. The workshop included two invited talks, ten short paper presentations, and breakout groups. Workshop participants brainstormed research questions of interest and formed breakout groups to explore these questions in greater depth. In addition to summarizing the invited talks and presentations, this report details the results of the breakout groups, which provide a set of research directions for the improvement of information retrieval evaluation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
