"""
Tier-0 diagnostics for the Sekiguchi/Yoshioka/Kwan (ICTIR '26) bibliographic-
coupling evaluation framework.
Three questions, all answerable on the data already in data/coliee/task1/:
D1 Popularity floor. Yoshioka (email 2026-07-25) suggests that in a densely
coupled corpus "simply checking the highly cited cases may be sufficient".
We test it literally: rank the pool by in-pool in-degree, ignoring the
query entirely, and score that query-independent list under Extended
Precision and Coverage. Whatever a constant list scores is the floor the
metric hands out for free.
D2 Head vs tail. Yoshioka's second point: what matters for recall/coverage is
reaching the *infrequently* cited cases. We decompose Coverage@k by the
citation frequency (in-pool in-degree) of each gold case, so the metric
stops averaging the head and the tail together.
D3 How the BC (Silver) layer grows with pool size. Their §6 limitation is that
the analysis is on a 1,870-case subset and that problems "become even more
pronounced ... with large-scale databases". We hold queries and gold fixed
and sweep the number of distractors, measuring how much of the pool becomes
BC-eligible for an average query.
Retrieval side uses BM25 (CPU, no GPU, no model download) so the diagnostics are
reproducible anywhere; BM25 is already one of the three systems in the
cross-jurisdictional draft.
