Package org.terrier.matching.models Description

Provides the classes that implement various weighting models. Generally, the models fall into two classes:

• Term weighting models - score an occurrence of a document regardless of where the occurrences appear.
• Field-based weighting models - score an occurrence of a document depending on the fields that the term occurs in.

Various different families of weighting models are implemented:

• IDF: e.g. TF_IDF (aka BM11), BM25, LemurTF_IDF.
• Divergence from Randomness: e.g. PL2, InL2. Arbitrary DFR models can also be generated using DFRWeightingModel
• hyper-geometric Divergence from Randomness: e.g. DLH, DPH, DFRee
• Language modelling: e.g. Hiemstra_LM, Dirichlet_LM
• Divergence from Independence: DFI0

Of the field-based models, the following are implemented:

• BM25F
• PL2F
• MDL2
• ML2
• Arbitrary per-field normalisation models can be generated using the PerFieldNormWeightingModel model.
