Relevance levels
| Rel. | Definition | 
|---|---|
| -1 | References of no interest. | 
| 1 | References of minimum interest, for example, those that have been included from an historical viewpoint. | 
| 2 | References which were useful, either as general background to the work or as suggesting methods of tackling certain aspects of the work. | 
| 3 | References of a high degree of relevance, the lack of which either would have made the research impracticable or would have resulted in a considerable amount of extra work. | 
| 4 | References which are a complete answer to the question. | 
Examples:
import ir_datasets
dataset = ir_datasets.load("cranfield")
for qrel in dataset.qrels_iter():
    qrel # namedtuple<query_id, doc_id, relevance, iteration>
