similar to: Adjusting scores

I was wondering if there was a good way to either balance the relevancy score with recentness of matching documents- or include the recentness in the score somehow? Thanks, Ben -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, I'm having trouble to compile the R + C/C++ codes for this project from Yahoo folks on latent factor models: https://github.com/yahoo/Latent-Factor-Models#readme After downloading the package from the site, I could not successfully *make* the files. Here is the message: ====================================================================================== sh-4.1$ make R CMD

Recently I''ve been revisiting some of my search code. With a greater understanding of how Java Lucene implements its search methods, I realized that one level of abstraction is not present in the Ferret classes/methods. Here are the relevant method signatures: Ferret''s search methods: in Ferret::Index::Index: search(query, options = {}) -> returns a TopDocs

I''m not sure if someone has already addressed this issue, but if not, here goes. I need the following behavior: def test_generate(documentation = ''/test_documentation/'', destination = ''/destination/'') yield_results = [''/'', ''filename.yaml'', ''blah.xml'']

Hi guys (and gals?), We're using Xapian/Omega for indexing and searching forums. As forums are, the content that is relevant to a search is not just determined by the frequency or location of the terms; the date the topic has been last modified is important as well. Another issue we find is that the amount of results is so overwhelming, the user is unable to find the correct topic for his

I lied, I don''t actually need different responses each time I call the method. So the last email of mine is probably worthless. Instead, I need yield to yield 3 values when I call it once: (behavior that mimics Find.find) def test_generate(documentation = ''/test_documentation/'', destination = ''/destination/'')

The previous TreeCtrl.i was very messy and just plain wrong, for instance it had GetFirstChild as depreciated when in fact only 1 version of it was depreciated not both. I changed GetFirstChild and GetNextChild to return an array of values to match the wxPython and wxPerl usage. I also noticed that wxTreeCtrl is inherited from wxControl on Windows and wxScrolledWindow on everything else so I #if

If searching multiple indexes with a single searcher is there anyway to identify which index a resulting doc is stored in? i1 = Ferret::I.new i2 = Ferret::I.new i1 << {:id=>1,:text=>"random stuff"} i1.commit reader = Ferret::Index::IndexReader.new([i1.options[:dir],i2.options[:dir]]) searcher = Ferret::Index::IndexSearcher.new(reader) query =

The ability to choose a mocking framework is great as I prefer mocha, but I am have problems. On my controller specs, I am forced to ''integrate_views'' as the following code below shows you, the mocking of views is rspec specific. See stub! versus mocha''s stub unless block_given? unless integrate_views?

Hi, I know this is the wrong forum for this kind of question and is only ephemerally related to xapian, but maybe someone here knows and will save me some digging. Given a google PR of, say, .15 for page A of site x.com, does google "radiate" any of that PR goodness onto any other pages of site x.com? Irrespective of whether page A links to any other pages in site x.com. In other

Hi David, > Deleted documents don''t get deleted until commit is called Ok, but FYI, my experiments show that #commit doesn''t affect #doc_count, even across ruby sessions. On a different note, I''d like to request a variation of #add_document which returns the doc_id of the document added, as opposed to self. I''m trying to track down an issue with a large

Hi, Let me first stress that the success of the wiki is tight to how many users find it as a resource. And that users will only find the wiki for their problems if it has a higher PageRank. (I am using PageRank as an example, other search engines would do better if we can implement some changes overall.) If we take the HowTos/Laptops/Wireless page as an example, the page is not part of the

Hi! First, thanks a LOT for ferret. The API and documentation is great. I''m trying to integrate ferret into a RoR app (DamageControl) and have run into a problem with locks. DamageControl consists of two processes that start up and run in parallel. The first one is the webapp (which is just a plain RoR app). The second is a daemon process that runs in the background. The daemon process

My linux Ruby application is using Ferret 0.11.4. I created my own class IndexSearcher to contain the Searcher of multiple directories. If I do not have the searcher.close called, the end of runner/console or runner/server will pop out with system error: *** glibc detected *** irb: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0a51d6c0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0x638ac1]

Hello all, I am Mohd Azeem. I want to contribute in Xapian but I am a newbie here. I wonder if anyone could help me in getting started with Xapian. I have some basic knowledge of IR and implemented TF*IDF and PageRank schemes, and also implemented Inverted Index and Web-Crawler. regards, Azeem -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How would I change this method in order to get highlighting working with DRb? I''ve given up on searching on Google, I''m getting no results that are actually helpful. def self.find_storage_by_contents(query, options = {}) # Get the index that acts_as_ferret created for us index = self.aaf_index.ferret_index results = [] default_options = {:limit => 10,

I have an ActiveRecord class class User < ActiveRecord::Base end and I want to define an attribute, in example "links", links will be an array. class User < ActiveRecord::Base attr :links end and now, I want links to be an array, so I do class User < ActiveRecord::base attr:links def initialize(attributes) super(attributes) @links =

Hi, Within process.c, in the fork method, there''s this bit of code: if(rb_block_given_p()){ int status; rb_protect(rb_yield, Qundef, &status); ruby_stop(status); } I translated that as this: if block_given? status = 0 begin yield rescue Exception status = -1 # Any non-zero result is failure end exit(status) end Is there a way to get

Is there any reason why a stub couldn''t both yield and return? I''m looking for a way to mock out a class I''ve made named "AnonymousClass": class AnonymousClass def initialize(&blk) @klass = Class.new @klass.instance_eval(&blk) if block_given? end def new @klass.new end def evaluate(&blk)
