A “Ranking Optimizer,” provides a framework for directly optimizing conventional information retrieval (IR) measures for use in ranking, search, and recommendation type applications. In general, the Ranking Optimizer first reformats any conventional position based IR measure from a conventional “indexing by position” process to an “indexing by documents” process to create a newly formulated IR measure which contains a position function, and optionally, a truncation function. Both of these functions are non-continuous and non-differentiable. Therefore, the Ranking Optimizer approximates the position function by using a smooth function of ranking scores, and, if used, approximates the optional truncation function with a smooth function of positions of documents. Finally, the Ranking Optimizer optimizes the approximated functions to provide a highly accurate surrogate function for use as a surrogate IR measure.
