relevanceeach

Relevanceeach is a term used in information retrieval and recommendation systems to describe the practice of assigning and utilizing a relevance score for every candidate item in a result set. In this approach, each item i for a given query and user context is given a numerical score r_i that reflects predicted usefulness or interest, rather than summarizing the entire set with a single relevance value. The scores are typically produced by a model trained on historical interaction data.

Computationally, relevanceeach relies on per-item features that describe the relationship between the query and the item, as well as user context, item content, and sometimes broader session information. A predictive model—such as a gradient-boosted tree, a neural network, or a traditional learning-to-rank framework—produces r_i for each candidate. The final ranking is formed by ordering items in descending order of their per-item scores, often with post-processing to satisfy business rules or diversity constraints.

Applications of relevanceeach appear in search engines, product catalogs, news feeds, and any system that needs fine-grained ranking decisions. It supports customizable ranking strategies, per-item explanations, and dynamic adaptation to user behavior. In practice, relevanceeach is often implemented within learning-to-rank pipelines or recommender architectures that optimize for metrics like NDCG, precision@k, or recall@k.

Limitations and considerations include computational cost, calibration of scores, and data requirements for reliable per-item predictions. Poor calibration can lead to misinterpretation of scores, while overfitting to past interactions may reduce long-term usefulness. As a concept, relevanceeach is not a universally standardized term but a descriptive label for per-item relevance scoring approaches in modern IR and recommendation systems.
