MUC-4 evaluation metrics
Open accessAbstract
The MUC-4 evaluation metrics measure the performance of the message understanding systems. This paper describes the scoring algorithms used to arrive at the metrics as well as the improvements that were made to the MUC-3 methods. MUC-4 evaluation metrics were stricter than those used in MUC-3. Given the differences in scoring between MUC-3 and MUC-4, the MUC-4 systems' scores represent a larger improvement over MUC-3 performance than the numbers themselves suggest.

“In particular, their harmonic mean has been originally introduced in statistical ecology by Dice [49] and Sørensen [50] independently in 1948, then rediscovered in the 1970s in information theory by van Rijsbergen [51, 52] and finally adopting the current notation of F 1 measure in 1992 [53].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
