Detailed Description

This class implements the IneB2 weighting scheme.

IneB2 is a representative scheme of the Divergence from Randomness Framework by Gianni Amati.

It uses the Inverse expected document frequency model (Ine), the Bernoulli method to find the aftereffect of sampling (B) and the second wdf normalization proposed by Amati to normalize the wdf in the document to the length of the document (H2).

For more information about the DFR Framework and the IneB2 scheme, please refer to: Gianni Amati and Cornelis Joost Van Rijsbergen Probabilistic models of information retrieval based on measuring the divergence from randomness ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) 20, (4), 2002, pp. 357-389.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ IneB2Weight() [1/2]

Xapian::IneB2Weight::IneB2Weight ( double c )

explicit

Construct an IneB2Weight.

Parameters

c	A strictly positive parameter controlling the extent of the normalization of the wdf to the document length. The default value of 1 is suitable for longer queries but it may need to be changed for shorter queries. For more information, please refer to Gianni Amati's PHD thesis.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

IneB2Weight * Xapian::IneB2Weight::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 49 of file ineb2weight.cc.

References IneB2Weight(), and param_c.

◆ get_maxextra()

double Xapian::IneB2Weight::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 142 of file ineb2weight.cc.

◆ get_maxpart()

double Xapian::IneB2Weight::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 130 of file ineb2weight.cc.

◆ get_sumextra()

double Xapian::IneB2Weight::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 136 of file ineb2weight.cc.

◆ get_sumpart()

double Xapian::IneB2Weight::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 B_constant, c_product_avlen, log2(), and wqf_product_idf.

◆ init()

void Xapian::IneB2Weight::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).

◆ name()

string Xapian::IneB2Weight::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 93 of file ineb2weight.cc.

◆ serialise()

string Xapian::IneB2Weight::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 99 of file ineb2weight.cc.

References param_c, and serialise_double().

◆ unserialise()

IneB2Weight * Xapian::IneB2Weight::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.
