JSON document in Couchbase

Key: akay1980

Document: {

“name”: “Alan Kay”, “description”: “... the wisest

engineer ...” }


Text Analysis : tokenizer + token filters

A pipeline of transformations

One Tokenizer

Zero or more Token Filters

all languages• Unicode standard rules help (see Unicode Standard Annex

#29)• Still need to account for exceptions

• E-mail addresses and URLs don’t follow normal rules

Document Scoring

• tf/idf scoring• Term Frequency• How often does a term occur in

a doc?• More often yields a higher score

• Inverse Document Frequency• How many docs have this term?• More docs yield lower score

(because the term is more common)


Quality Results

• Getting high quality results depends on the right text analysis

• Beware: adjustments that increase precision may reduce recall (and the other way around)
