A tiny server-client evaluator for IR homework (e.g. Search Engine) in Python.

Teachers (or TAs) prepare <url, query> to evaluate students' search engines.

Students develop search_engine.evaluate to accept query, and return list of retrieved urls.

MRR@20, in defaults.

requests==2.25.1
flask==1.1.2
tqdm==4.61.1

ans.tsv             # evaluation cases, url<\t>query
example-ans.tsv     # no overlap with ans.tsv
passwd              # each line a password
archive/            # dir for saving clients' summited urls

python server.py

Retrieved urls will be saved into archive/, named as each student's idx.

normal.log for final submission logs, debug.log for debug mode logs, illegal.log for illegal operation logs.

Replace line 9 of client.py to your server's IP address.

python client.py

Enter passwd for the final submission (ans.tsv will be evaluated), while not enter passwd for the DEBUG mode (example-ans.tsv will be evaluated).
