Xapian devel - Mar 2016 - Ranking: Project: Weighting Schemes

Hello!

I'm Franco from Argentina, coursing my fifth year of undergraduate studies
in Computer Science from National University of Rosario and I'm definitely
interested in this Project.

I am part of a research project on recommender systems at National
University
of Rosario. I was working on issues related to Information Retrieval in the
domain of learning objects, and I really want to implement any of the
weighting schemes that I use.

I have been reading the available documentation and getting familiar with
the code.
I wonder if there are some warm up tasks to do?

I'm really looking forward to start working on this.

Thanks!

Hi, Franco. Welcome to Xapian!

Some people have being implementing other SMART normalisations for
TF/IDF as a warm up task, but I know that not all of the remaining
ones are practical to implement in Xapian.

An alternative is just to pick up a small project ('bite size') or a
ticket. This is quite a good view of the open tickets; it groups by
component so you can skip through things you aren't interested in or
don't feel comfortable working on:
