Factory for DFRSimilarity

You must specify the implementations for all three components of DFR (strings). In general the models are parameter-free, but two of the normalizations take floating point parameters (see below):

1. basicModel: Basic model of information content:
   • G: Geometric approximation of Bose-Einstein
   • I(n): Inverse document frequency
   • I(ne): Inverse expected document frequency [mixture of Poisson and IDF]
   • I(F): Inverse term frequency [approximation of I(ne)]
2. afterEffect: First normalization of information gain:
   • L: Laplace's law of succession
   • B: Ratio of two Bernoulli processes
3. normalization: Second (length) normalization:
   • H1: Uniform distribution of term frequency
     • parameter c (float): hyper-parameter that controls the term frequency normalization with respect to the document length. The default is 1
   • H2: term frequency density inversely related to length
     • parameter c (float): hyper-parameter that controls the term frequency normalization with respect to the document length. The default is 1
   • H3: term frequency normalization provided by Dirichlet prior
     • parameter mu (float): smoothing parameter μ. The default is 800
   • Z: term frequency normalization provided by a Zipfian relation
     • parameter z (float): represents A/(A+1) where A measures the specificity of the language. The default is 0.3
   • none: no second normalization

Optional settings:

• discountOverlaps (bool): Sets Similarity.getDiscountOverlaps()

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
