Abstract
This paper describes the official measures of retrieval effectiveness employed in INEX 2005: the eXtended Cumulated Gain (XCG) measures. In addition, results of correlation analysis are reported, examining the correlation between the employed quantisation functions and the different measures for the INEX 2005 ad-hoc tasks.
