java.lang.Object
  org.terrier.matching.dsms.DependenceScoreModifier
      org.terrier.matching.dsms.MRFDependenceScoreModifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, DocumentScoreModifier

public class MRFDependenceScoreModifier
extends DependenceScoreModifier

Implements Markov Random Fields. See Metzler & Croft, SIGIR 2005. Note that this implementation does not utilise the frequency of a tuple in the collection - instead, this is assumed to be a constant, as per the implementation in the Ivory retrieval system. Properties:

• See properties for DependenceScoreModifier
• mrf.mu - Mu of MRF model, in the Dirichlet model.

Method Detail

modifyScores

public boolean modifyScores(Index index,
                            MatchingQueryTerms terms,
                            ResultSet set)

Description copied from class: DependenceScoreModifier

Modifies the scores of documents, in which there exist, or there does not exist a given phrase.

Specified by:

modifyScores in interface DocumentScoreModifier

Overrides:

modifyScores in class DependenceScoreModifier

Parameters:

index - Index the data structures to use.

terms - MatchingQueryTerms the terms to be matched for the query. This does not correspond to the phrase terms necessarily, but to all the terms of the query.

set - ResultSet the result set for the query.

Returns:

true if any scores have been altered

scoreFDSD

protected double scoreFDSD(int matchingNGrams,
                           int _docLength)

Specified by:

scoreFDSD in class DependenceScoreModifier

setCollectionStatistics

public void setCollectionStatistics(CollectionStatistics cs,
                                    Index _index)

Sets the collection statistics used to score the documents (number of documents in the collection, etc)

Overrides:
