A practical approach to measuring the relevance and preventing regressions

Aline Paponaud and Roudy Khoury • Location: TUECHTIG • Back to Haystack EU 2022

In this session we present a practical approach in implementing a component that automatically measures the relevance of an e-commerce search engine, helps configuring it and prevents relevance regressions. Our component is based on the Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) theory and integrated into a real-world large-scale e-commerce search engine. We give our return on experience and present all the practical details of its implementation - logs collection, integration with the search engine administration interface, deployment automation and give an idea about its return on investment (ROI).
