I have my own synonyms, which are differnt from the ones in wordNet. For every word, I have synonyms and the score - for how close the synonym to its word. I would like to 'elaborate' the query, to expand it so it will include also the synonyms of the words given in the query. Thanks 2009/7/13 Er

What are you trying to do? I think you'd get a better response ifyou explained what higher-level task/feature you're trying to implement. Best Erick On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 4:54 AM, liat oren wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a list of synonyms for every word. > Is there a good way to use these synon

Use of Synonyms

2009-07-13 Thread liat oren
Hi all, I have a list of synonyms for every word. Is there a good way to use these synonyms? Currently I use a boost query so if 'a' is the queried word, and 'b' (0.5) and 'c' (0.2) are its synonyms, I query for: a^1 + b^0.5 + c^0.2. Is there a better way of doing it? Thanks, Liat
