Class DependenceScoreModifier

java.lang.Object

org.terrier.matching.dsms.DependenceScoreModifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, DocumentScoreModifier

Direct Known Subclasses:

DFRDependenceScoreModifier, MRFDependenceScoreModifier

public abstract class DependenceScoreModifier
extends Object
implements DocumentScoreModifier

Base class for Dependence models. Document scores are modified using n-grams, approximating the dependence of terms between documents. Implemented as a document score modifier, similarly to PhraseScoreModifier. Postings lists are traversed in a DAAT fashion.

Properties

• proximity.dependency.type - one of SD, FD for sequential dependence or full dependence
• proximity.ngram.length - proxmity windows, in tokens
• proximity.w_t - weight of unigram in combination, defaults 1.0d
• proximity.w_o - weight of SD in combination, default 1.0d
• proximity.w_u - weight of FD in combination, default 1.0d
• proximity.qtw.fnid - combination function to combine the qtws of two terms involved in a phrase. See below.

QTW Combination Functions

1. 1: phraseQTW = 0.5 * (qtw1 + qtw2)
2. 2: phraseQTW = qtw1 * qtw2
3. 3: phraseQTW = min(qtw1, qtw2)
4. 4: phraseQTW = max(qtw1, qtw2)

Since:

3.0

Method Detail

clone

public Object clone()

Creates a clone of this object

Specified by:

clone in interface DocumentScoreModifier

Overrides:

clone in class Object

scoreFDSD

protected abstract double scoreFDSD(int matchingNGrams,
               int docLength)

getName

public String getName()

Returns the name of the modifier.

Specified by:

getName in interface DocumentScoreModifier

Returns:

String the name of the modifier.

NOR

protected static boolean NOR(boolean[] in)

modifyScores

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

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

Specified by:

modifyScores in interface DocumentScoreModifier

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
