Information Retrieval Fundamentals

In information retrieval, relevance is a measure of how well retrieved content meets the user's information need. It encompasses factors like topical alignment, timeliness, authority, and novelty. High relevance ensures that search results (or AI-generated answers) accurately satisfy user queries in both context and content.
