Detailed Description

This class implements the DPH weighting scheme.

DPH is a representative scheme of the Divergence from Randomness Framework by Gianni Amati.

This is a parameter free weighting scheme and it should be used with query expansion to obtain better results. It uses the HyperGeometric Probabilistic model and Popper's normalization to calculate the risk gain.

For more information about the DFR Framework and the DPH scheme, please refer to : a.)

◆ DPHWeight()

Xapian::DPHWeight::DPHWeight ( )

inline

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

DPHWeight * Xapian::DPHWeight::clone ( ) const

privatevirtual

Clone this object.

This method allocates and returns a copy of the object it is called on.

If your subclass is called FooWeight and has parameters a and b, then you would implement FooWeight::clone() like so:

FooWeight * FooWeight::clone() const { return new FooWeight(a, b); }

Note that the returned object will be deallocated by Xapian after use with "delete". If you want to handle the deletion in a special way (for example when wrapping the Xapian API for use from another language) then you can define a static operator delete method in your subclass as shown here: https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/554#comment:1

Implements Xapian::Weight.

Definition at line 36 of file dphweight.cc.

◆ get_maxextra()

double Xapian::DPHWeight::get_maxextra ( ) const

virtual

Return an upper bound on what get_sumextra() can return for any document.

This information is used by the matcher to perform various optimisations, so strive to make the bound as tight as possible.

Implements Xapian::Weight.

Definition at line 168 of file dphweight.cc.

◆ get_maxpart()

double Xapian::DPHWeight::get_maxpart ( ) const

virtual

Return an upper bound on what get_sumpart() can return for any document.

This information is used by the matcher to perform various optimisations, so strive to make the bound as tight as possible.

Implements Xapian::Weight.

Definition at line 156 of file dphweight.cc.

◆ get_sumextra()

double Xapian::DPHWeight::get_sumextra	(	Xapian::termcount	doclen,
		Xapian::termcount	uniqterms
	)		const

virtual

Calculate the term-independent weight component for a document.

The parameter gives information about the document which may be used in the calculations:

Parameters

doclen	The document's length (unnormalised).
uniqterms	The number of unique terms in the document.

Implements Xapian::Weight.

Definition at line 162 of file dphweight.cc.

◆ get_sumpart()

double Xapian::DPHWeight::get_sumpart	(	Xapian::termcount	wdf,
		Xapian::termcount	doclen,
		Xapian::termcount	uniqterms
	)		const

virtual

Calculate the weight contribution for this object's term to a document.

The parameters give information about the document which may be used in the calculations:

Parameters

wdf	The within document frequency of the term in the document.
doclen	The document's length (unnormalised).
uniqterms	Number of unique terms in the document (used for absolute smoothing).

Implements Xapian::Weight.

References log2(), and rare.

◆ init()

void Xapian::DPHWeight::init ( double factor )

privatevirtual

Allow the subclass to perform any initialisation it needs to.

Parameters

factor Any scaling factor (e.g. from OP_SCALE_WEIGHT). If the Weight object is for the term-independent weight supplied by get_sumextra()/get_maxextra(), then init(0.0) is called (starting from Xapian 1.2.11 and 1.3.1 - earlier versions failed to call init() for such Weight objects).

Implements Xapian::Weight.

Definition at line 42 of file dphweight.cc.

References log2(), and rare.

◆ name()

string Xapian::DPHWeight::name ( ) const

virtual

Return the name of this weighting scheme.

This name is used by the remote backend. It is passed along with the serialised parameters to the remote server so that it knows which class to create.

Return the full namespace-qualified name of your class here - if your class is called FooWeight, return "FooWeight" from this method (Xapian::BM25Weight returns "Xapian::BM25Weight" here).

If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply returns an empty string.

Reimplemented from Xapian::Weight.

Definition at line 117 of file dphweight.cc.

◆ serialise()

string Xapian::DPHWeight::serialise ( ) const

virtual

Return this object's parameters serialised as a single string.

If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.

Reimplemented from Xapian::Weight.

Definition at line 123 of file dphweight.cc.

◆ unserialise()

DPHWeight * Xapian::DPHWeight::unserialise ( const std::string & serialised ) const

virtual

Unserialise parameters.

This method unserialises parameters serialised by the serialise() method and allocates and returns a new object initialised with them.

If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.

Note that the returned object will be deallocated by Xapian after use with "delete". If you want to handle the deletion in a special way (for example when wrapping the Xapian API for use from another language) then you can define a static operator delete method in your subclass as shown here: https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/554#comment:1

Parameters

serialised A string containing the serialised parameters.
