However, it should be also stressed that our evaluation was very strict: a retrieved collocate candidate was considered as correct only if it formed a collocation with the base, and if it belonged to the target semantic gloss.
for the outcome of each experiment, we computed both precision (p) as the ratio of retrieved collocates that match the targeted glosses to the overall number of obtained collocates for each base, and Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR), which rewards the position of the first correct result in a ranked list of outcomes: where Q is a sample of experiment runs and rank i refers to the rank position of the first relevant outcome for the ith run.
