what articles you have read? i work in automatic query expansion and automatic 
thesaurus generation, and i use lucene for my tests, but, by now, i don't have 
excellent results. In a few days i will have results based in this method:

Concept Based Query Expansion (1993) 
Yonggang Qiu Department of Computer Science Swiss Federal Institute of...
Proceedings of SIGIR-93, 16th ACM International Conference on Research and 
Development in Information Retrieval

are you interested?

Asunto: information theory based expanded query term boosting

> Hi,

> the query terms by synonym terms, morph terms etc. I read several 
> articles on how different boosting levels affect the precision and 
> recall of the expanded query. In the context of Lucene, is there a 
> systematic study conducted to analyze different boosting schemes?
