Adopting Systematic Evaluation Benchmarks in Operational Settings

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: The Information Retrieval Series ((INRE,volume 41))

Abstract

Evaluation of information systems in commercial and industrial settings differs from academic evaluation of methodology in important ways. Those differences have to do with differing organisational priorities between practice and research. Some of those priorities can be adjusted, others must be taken into account, to be able to include evaluation into an operational development pipeline.
