About Micro and Macro scores

[shizhediao]

In your paper, there is a clarification about the evaluation scores. I konw the difference between micro and macro scores. I was wondering why you choose Macro-averaged score in your paper? Are there any justifications? Thanks very much!

In our case, macro-averaged is the doc-level average score. We think it makes more sense because the number of keyphrases varies doc by doc. Mix them together may lose this per-doc information. Hope this clarifies your question.
