    Description

      TF-IDF takes into account term frequency and inverse document frequency to determine term scoring. So, it rewards term frequency and penalizes document frequency.

      BM25 goes beyond this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi_BM25

      Also a good read - https://opensourceconnections.com/blog/2015/10/16/bm25-the-next-generation-of-lucene-relevation/

      From elastic:

      Todo:

      • Weigh pros & cons of tf-idf vs bm25 for couchbase
      • BM25 score to work better alongside kNN distance (as this is a global score as opposed to tf-idf)

      More details:

      • Will be an index creation time setting, user to be able to choose between tf-idf and bm-25
      • This will entail a file format change to accommodate the new score metrics.
