Hi all, I am trying to tweak the parameters of the BM25 similarity module. I am evaluating the quality of the results using an NDCG-like metric, and would like to iterate through several values of k1 and b in order to find the ones that maximize this score.
Unfortunately, because this is set at the index settings level, it is hard to iterate through these values. Because my index is very large, I would like to avoid having to reindex for each possible set of values (reindexing time can take about an hour). I tried closing the index and updating the settings, but it is unclear to me whether this is actually taking immediate effect. Of course the ideal situation would be a query-time parameter. Is there any efficient way to iterate through many possible BM25 parameter values on a large index?
