Crate vindicator

Search manipulation algorithms for multi-source information retrieval.

Example

Read a file in the TREC eval result list format, and use fuse_scored to merge entries with the same document ID.

use vindicator::{fuse_scored, parse_from_trec};
use vindicator::fuser::comb_mnz;
 
let raw_list = std::fs::read_to_string("trec_file.txt")?;
let list = parse_from_trec(&raw_list)?;

let fusion: Vec<_> = fuse_scored(&list, comb_mnz);

comb_mnz is one possible score-based late fusion method. Any other algorithm producing a new score based on an array of scores can be integrated. See also comb_max and comb_sum.

Modules

fuser	Late fusion algorithms.
trec	TREC File parsing and printing module

Structs

EntryInfo	A simple struct for minimally describing a scored search result.
Ranked	Wrapper type for assigning a rank to an arbitrary value.
RankedEntryInfo	A simple struct for minimally describing a scored and ranked search result.

Traits

RankedSearchEntry	A search entry which is also aware of its rank on the list.
SearchEntry	A search result entry with a unique document identifier and a similarity score. Types need to implement this type in order to be admitted as a search result.

Functions

ranked_list	Builds a new iterator containing search results ranked on their order of appearance.
score	Creates a score value.

Type Definitions

Rank	Type alias for a search result's ran.
Score	Type alias for a search result's score. This is assumed to be a s
