Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CosSim::CosSim (  const Index &    dbIndex )

Precomputes the idf values for the collection. Cosine similarity method. Precomputes the idf values for the collection.

CosSim::~CosSim (    )  [virtual]

clean up

Member Function Documentation

const double* CosSim::idfValues (    )  const [inline]

return pointer to precomputed idf values.

double CosSim::similarity (  const ClusterRep *    vec1, const ClusterRep *    vec2 )  const [virtual]

compute similarity between two reps. Implements SimilarityMethod.

void CosSim::weigh (  ClusterRep *    rep )  const [inline, virtual]
