Hi, I have a problem of understanding the queryNorm and fieldNorm.
The following is an example. I try to follow what said in the Javadoc "Computes the normalization value for a query given the sum of the squared weights of each of the query terms". But the result is different. ID:0 C:/PDF2Text/SearchEngine/File/SIG/sigkdd/p374-zhang.pdf|initial rank: 0 0.31900567 = sum of: 0.03968133 = weight(contents:associ in 920), product of: 0.60161763 = queryWeight(contents:associ), product of: 1.326625 = idf(docFreq=830) 0.45349488 = queryNorm 0.065957725 = fieldWeight(contents:associ in 920), product of: 4.2426405 = tf(termFreq(contents:associ)=18) 1.326625 = idf(docFreq=830) 0.01171875 = fieldNorm(field=contents, doc=920) 0.27932435 = weight(contents:rule in 920), product of: 0.7987842 = queryWeight(contents:rule), product of: 1.7613963 = idf(docFreq=537) 0.45349488 = queryNorm 0.34968686 = fieldWeight(contents:rule in 920), product of: 16.941074 = tf(termFreq(contents:rule)=287) 1.7613963 = idf(docFreq=537) 0.01171875 = fieldNorm(field=contents, doc=920) regards jiang xing
