public class DFRSimilarity extends SimilarityBase
The DFR scoring formula is composed of three separate components: the
basic model, the aftereffect and an additional
normalization component, represented by the classes
BasicModel
, AfterEffect
and Normalization
,
respectively. The names of these classes were chosen to match the names of
their counterparts in the Terrier IR engine.
To construct a DFRSimilarity, you must specify the implementations for all three components of DFR:
BasicModel
: Basic model of information content:
BasicModelBE
: Limiting form of Bose-Einstein
BasicModelG
: Geometric approximation of Bose-Einstein
BasicModelP
: Poisson approximation of the Binomial
BasicModelD
: Divergence approximation of the Binomial
BasicModelIn
: Inverse document frequency
BasicModelIne
: Inverse expected document
frequency [mixture of Poisson and IDF]
BasicModelIF
: Inverse term frequency
[approximation of I(ne)]
AfterEffect
: First normalization of information
gain:
AfterEffectL
: Laplace's law of succession
AfterEffectB
: Ratio of two Bernoulli processes
AfterEffect.NoAfterEffect
: no first normalization
Normalization
: Second (length) normalization:
NormalizationH1
: Uniform distribution of term
frequency
NormalizationH2
: term frequency density inversely
related to length
NormalizationH3
: term frequency normalization
provided by Dirichlet prior
NormalizationZ
: term frequency normalization provided
by a Zipfian relation
Normalization.NoNormalization
: no second normalization
Note that qtf, the multiplicity of term-occurrence in the query, is not handled by this implementation.

Note that null
values are not allowed:
if you want no normalization or after-effect, instead pass
Normalization.NoNormalization
or AfterEffect.NoAfterEffect
respectively.

SimilarityBase
expl
already contains the score, the name of the class and the doc id, as well
as the term frequency and its explanation; subclasses can add additional
clauses to explain details of their scoring formulae.
The default implementation does nothing.
