MoreLikeThis - allow to exclude terms that appear in too many documents (patch included) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1993 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1993 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Improvement Components: contrib/* Affects Versions: 2.9 Reporter: Christian Steinert Attachments: MoreLikeThis.java.patch The MoreLikeThis class allows to generate a likeness query based on a given document. So far, it is impossible to suppress words from the likeness query, that appear in almost all documents, making it necessary to use extensive lists of stop words. Therefore I suggest to allow excluding words for which a certain absolute document count or a certain percentage of documents is exceeded. Depending on the corpus of text, words that appear in more than 50 or even 70% of documents can usually be considered insignificant for classifying a document. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
