You could penalize by boosting documents that have the term. Can you give a concrete example? How dynamic is the "absent words" list? Erik On Aug 19, 2013, at 09:26 , Rafael Calsaverini wrote: > Hi there, > > is there a way to penalize a document's score for lacking a particular > te

Penalizing absent words

2013-08-19 Thread Rafael Calsaverini
Hi there, is there a way to penalize a document's score for lacking a particular term? It would be quite nice if I could add a negative term to the score, which is proportional to the idf of a word that is not present in a given field of that document. Thanks for your time, Rafael Calsaverini D
