Bias and Fairness in Effectiveness Evaluation by Means of Network Analysis and Mixture Models

Abstract

Information retrieval effectiveness evaluation is often carried out by means of test collections. Many works investigated possible sources of bias in such an approach. We propose a systematic approach to identify bias and its causes, and to remove it, thus enforcing fairness in effectiveness evaluation by means of test collections.
