Subject: Question about document counts in report files
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 12:08:07 -0500

I was looking at the tracking and detection reports and am puzzled by
some apparent discrepencies in the counts. For example, in our
tracking report, for topic 88 I see 4 training + 14 correct detection
+ 5 miss = 23 on-topic stories. This agrees with what I get if I grep
for "topicid=88 level=YES" in topic_relevance.table.19990109 which
came with the results .tar archive: 23 stories. However, in our
detection report, there are only 7 reference stories for topic 88.
Also, Dave Graff's message about topic adjudication stated that 18
stories were added to the topic 88 on-topic set, so I don't see how
there can be only 7. Have I missed something?

There are other anomalies:
Topic 70, grep -> 443, trk report -> 435, det report -> 432
Topic 71, grep -> 173, trk report -> 172, det report -> 172

For reference, the above numbers are from these files in the results
tar archive:
./topic_relevance.table.19990109
./tracking/Dragon1/Dragon1_boundary_Nt=4.nwt+asr.report
./detection/Dragon1/Dragon1_boundary_DEF=10.nwt+asr.report
