Relevance level ignored when computing NDCG

AmenRa opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi,

I have noticed that the relevance level parameter -l<num> is ignored when computing NDCG.

Is this behavior intended?

Thank you,

Elias

Yes, although it should get documented. NDCG by default uses the relevance level as the gain value, and you can also set gains on the command line.
