org.terrier.indexing.TRECFullUTFTokenizer
From 3.5, TRECFullTokenizer should be used instead, with trec.encoding set to utf8.

org.terrier.applications.TRECQueryingExpansion
This class performs a batch mode retrieval for a set of TREC queries using query expansion.

Properties

c.post The term frequency normalisation parameter value used in the second-pass retrieval.

trec.qe.model - name of the model to use for query expansion. If unset, then one will be read from etc/qemodels

org.terrier.indexing.TRECUTFCollection

Deprecated Fields

org.terrier.utility.ApplicationSetup.EXPANSION_MODELS
As of Terrier 3.5 The name of the file which contains the query expansion methods used. The corresponding property is expansion.models and the default value is qemodels. If a relative path is given, it is prefixed with TERRIER_ETC.

org.terrier.utility.ApplicationSetup.TREC_MODELS
As of Terrier 3.5 The filename of the file that contains the weighting models to be used. The corresponding property is trec.models and the default value is trec.models. If a relative path is given, then it is prefixed with TERRIER_ETC.

org.terrier.utility.ApplicationSetup.TREC_QRELS
As of Terrier 3.5 The name of the file that contains a list of qrels files to be used for evaluation. The corresponding property is trec.qrels and its default value is trec.qrels. If a relative path is given, TERRIER_ETC will be prefixed.

org.terrier.utility.ApplicationSetup.TREC_TOPICS_LIST
As of Terrier 3.5 The name of the file that contains a list of files where queries are stored. The corresponding property is trec.topics.list and the default value is trec.topics.list. If a relative path is given, TERRIER_ETC will be prefixed.
