+Precision and Recall
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+When comapring the effectiveness of different descriptors the main measurements
+ are those of precision and recall.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Once the visual search system has ranked a dataset on similarity to a query
+ image, the precision and recall can be calculated up to 
+\begin_inset Formula $n$
+\end_inset
+
+ images through the ranked list.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+At each 
+\begin_inset Formula $n$
+\end_inset
+
+ the precision is defined as the number of images up to 
+\begin_inset Formula $n$
+\end_inset
+
+ that are classed as relevant.
+ Higher precision values indicate better system accuracy and an ideal system
+ response as 
+\begin_inset Formula $n$
+\end_inset
+
+ increases would be a precision of 1 until all relevant documents have been
+ returned at which point it would reduce to a minimum value of the fraction
+ of relevant documents in the dataset.
+ This would indicate that the system is able to select a relevant image
+ every time one is available.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The recall is defined at 
+\begin_inset Formula $n$
+\end_inset
+
+ as how many of the available relevant results have been returned up to
+ 
+\begin_inset Formula $n$
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ Higher recall values at 
+\begin_inset Formula $n$
+\end_inset
+
+ indicate that the system can recall relevant documents faster with less
+ false positives and begins at 0 before increasing to a maximum of 1 as
+ 
+\begin_inset Formula $n$
+\end_inset
+
+ increases when all have been returned.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+While both measurements appear to reflect similar concepts there is a difference.
+ Precision is a measure of how accurately a system can decide whether a
+ document is relevant while recall can be thought of as a measure of a systems
+ repeated accuracy and measures how long it takes to retrieve all relevant
+ documents.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+A system with high recall but low precision will indicate that the system
+ is effectively able to retrieve all relevant documents eventually however
+ there will be false positives within the results.
+ Results of this quality would be advantageous when it is important to obtain
+ all relevant results however not when the relevance of each and every one
+ is valued.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+A system with high precision but low recall would indicate that the system
+ is able to very confident in its selection of relevant documents but may
+ indicate an increase in false negatives.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection
