Method Detail

getInfo

public final java.lang.String getInfo()

Returns the name of the model.

Specified by:

getInfo in class QueryExpansionModel

Returns:

the name of the model

parameterFreeNormaliser

public final double parameterFreeNormaliser()

This method provides the contract for computing the normaliser of parameter-free query expansion.

Specified by:

parameterFreeNormaliser in class QueryExpansionModel

Returns:

The normaliser.

parameterFreeNormaliser

public final double parameterFreeNormaliser(double maxTermFrequency,
                                            double collectionLength,
                                            double totalDocumentLength)

This method provides the contract for computing the normaliser of parameter-free query expansion.

Specified by:

parameterFreeNormaliser in class QueryExpansionModel

Parameters:

maxTermFrequency - The maximum of the in-collection term frequency of the terms in the pseudo relevance set.

collectionLength - The number of tokens in the collections.

totalDocumentLength - The sum of the length of the top-ranked documents.

Returns:

The normaliser.

score

public final double score(double withinDocumentFrequency,
                          double termFrequency)

This method implements the query expansion model.

Specified by:

score in class QueryExpansionModel

Parameters:

withinDocumentFrequency - double The term frequency in the X top-retrieved documents.

termFrequency - double The term frequency in the collection.

Returns:

double The query expansion weight using he complete Kullback-Leibler divergence.

score

public final double score(double withinDocumentFrequency,
                          double termFrequency,
                          double totalDocumentLength,
                          double collectionLength,
                          double averageDocumentLength)

This method implements the query expansion model.

Specified by:

score in class QueryExpansionModel

Parameters:

withinDocumentFrequency - double The term frequency in the X top-retrieved documents.

termFrequency - double The term frequency in the collection.

totalDocumentLength - double The sum of length of the X top-retrieved documents.

collectionLength - double The number of tokens in the whole collection.

averageDocumentLength - double The average document length in the collection.

Returns:

double The score returned by the implemented model.
