Abstract

Enterprise Search is a continuously evolving and important field, which is seeing a resurgence driven by artificial intelligence. Still, there is no objective, generally accepted way to compare various enterprise search systems. SQuAD is becoming popular for measuring algorithmic reading comprehension (MRC) but is ineffective for quantifying effectiveness of enterprise search in business-use situations. In this paper we modify the SQuAD scoring methodology to propose a scoring system for enterprise search systems that aligns with the real world expectations of users. Further, we use a search system based on Calibrated Quantum Mesh (CQM) to underscore the relevance of this metric.
