Weight based Precision oriented metrics for Multilingual Information Retrieval System

Multilingual Information Retrieval System (MLIR) provides users to apply query in one language and retrieve the resultant documents in more than one language. Assessing the performance of these systems is a challenging task. Amongst the available metrics Precision is considered as the basic measure for assessing the performance of IR/MLIR systems. In the literatures a few metrics are available to analyse the performance of MLIR System. Therefore in this paper Precision oriented metrics are proposed based on the weight of languages and the results are very promising and demonstrated their existence in MLIR research domain.
