Hi, I have some questions about the scoring function and about how different scores can be compared.
I use Lucene for indexing an archive of the web. /archive/day1/differentsites => indexday1 /archive/day2/differentsites => indexday2 /archive/day3/differentsites => indexday3 /archive/day4/differentsites => indexday4 /archive/day5/differentsites => indexday5 No I have a continious query for a certain topic. Querying indexday1 gives me some Hits with the best having score a Querying indexday2 gives me some Hits with the best having score b and so on ..... Now how can I compare those scores, since the regular idf will be different in the formular of every index?! Am I right here? I ve read about the incremental idf. Is there a possibility to normalize the scores so that different indexes/scores can be compared My Goal is to plot the movement of the score a query has over the time. So when I ll look at the Hits on a certain day, I ll must be sure that all the Hits are out of the day's archive. I hope you understand my problem and can help me.
