I have been trying to use the ROUGE toolkit to evaluate one of my research projects but have been finding it really hard to get proper documentation on its usage. So I decided to piece together some information that may be helpful to others. Actually, I learnt the basics of using ROUGE from the MEAD documentation! If you have successfully installed ROUGE and  need to set up the evaluation mechanism, read on. If you need information on how to install ROUGE, go through the README file in the the ROUGE package.

These are some handy notes for MEAD. If you have problems with the usage of MEAD, send me a note and I will try to help you out.

There are different text retrieval toolkits out there that you can use to build search engines or simply test your new search algorithm. I have used Lucene, Lemur and Terrier.
