Problem with query numbers in cranqrel.trec.txt file

[paul-sheridan]

The query numbers in the cranqrel.trec.txt file (the first column) run from 1 to 225 by increments of 1. It seems to me, however, they should correspond to the contents of the field in the cran.qry.xlm file. If so, the first column of cranqrel.trec.txt should be consistent with the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, ..., 360, 365.

It just dawned on me that I didn't explain the issue quite right. The problem is that the first column of the cranqrel.trec.txt file uses a mapping of the query ids $1, 2, 4, 8, 9, ..., 360, 365$ to $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 224, 225$ with $225$ being the total number of queries.

And how it went? You mapped these values like that?

It actually worked out perfectly.

My code is found at this repo <https://github.com/paul-sheridan/hgt-tfidf>, if that helps. I used Python to preprocess the Cranfield collection data files. However, I didn't modify the query IDs there. The way I handled mapping the query IDs is found in lines 117 to 136 of the associated hgt-tfidf/cranfield/cranfield-experiments.Rmd file.
