Re: Study Group (WAS Re: Normalized Scoring)

There are a series of good course notes from the Stanford course on IR: http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs276/handouts/lecture1.pdf to http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs276/handouts/lecture16.pdf These are from the course by Hinrich Schutze who co-authored "Foundations of Statistical Natural Languag

More fuzzy issues - encouraging bad spelling?

Another thought on fuzzy scoring: shouldn't all these queries which automatically expand terms favour common words over rare ones? The default scoring behaviour at the moment favours rare words. As a user aren't I more likely to be looking for the most common expansions? If I'm not sure how to sp

FuzzyQuery scoring

Should we change the scoring behaviour of FuzzyQuery? The current approach of turning Foo~ into a large boolean query means that result scores are heavily diluted for matches. In my tests a search for Foo returns documents containing Foo with a score of 1. A search for Foo~ returns documents con

Re: Notes on distributed searching with Lucene

Good to see that this has promoted some discussion :) Here is some feedback on some of the questions this has raised: 1) My application is able to parition the indexes according to some application-specific data. Each application would have to have its own scheme for partitioning. 2) The stubs
