Ok, now I think I get it.  You do have some index-time floats, and
query-time
boosts.

You should be able to do a normal BooleanQuery with three OR'ed together
ValueSourceQueries boosted by input weights, it seems, as that is the way
they work - they take the values in different fields and use them as the
score,
and the normal boosting technique will use query time weigting.

To get good performance with a ValueSourceQuery, I'd suggest using a
FieldCacheSource for speedier processing:

-----------
  String field = "model_1_score";
  float runTimeBoost = 0.5;

  ValueSource model1Source = new FloatFieldSource(field,
    new FieldCache.FloatParser() {
      public float parseFloat(String s) { return Float.parseFloat(s); }
    });

  Query model1Q = new ValueSourceQuery(model1Source);

  model1Q.setBoost(runTimeBoost);

// do this for model2 and model3 as well...

  BooleanQuery bq = new BooleanQuery();
  bq.add(model1Q, Occur.SHOULD);
  bq.add(model2Q, Occur.SHOULD);
  bq.add(model3Q, Occur.SHOULD);
---------------

  I haven't tried this code, but it seems like this is what you are trying
to do...
