Calculating Summary Measures

Fine⁽¹⁾ = Sum of fine-grained human similarity decisions (0-10).
PSum⁽¹⁾ = Sum of human broad similarity decisions: NS=0, SS=1, VS=2.
WCsum⁽¹⁾ = 'World Cup' scoring: NS=0, SS=1, VS=3 (rewards Very Similar).
SDsum⁽¹⁾ = 'Stephen Downie' scoring: NS=0, SS=1, VS=4 (strongly rewards Very Similar).
Greater0⁽¹⁾ = NS=0, SS=1, VS=1 (binary relevance judgement).
Greater1⁽¹⁾ = NS=0, SS=0, VS=1 (binary relevance judgement using only Very Similar).

⁽¹⁾Normalized to the range 0 to 1.
