Elasticsearch 的相关度评分(relevance score)算法采用的是 term frequency/inverse document frequency 算法,简称为 TF/IDF 算法。
算法介绍
relevance score 算法,简单来说就是,就是计算出一个索引中的文本,与搜索文本,它们之间的关联匹配程度。
TF/IDF 算法,分为两个部分,IF 和 IDF
Term Frequency(TF): 搜索文本中的各个词条在 field 文本中出现了多少次,出现的次数越多,就越相关
例如:
搜索请求:hello world
doc1: hello you, and world is very good
doc2: hello, how are you
那么此时根据 TF 算法,doc1 的相关度要比 doc2 的要高
Inverse Document Frequency(IDF): 搜索文本中的各个词条在整个索引的所有文档中出现的次数,出现的次数越多,就越不相关。
搜索请求:hello world
doc1: hello, today is very good.
doc2: hi world, how are you.
比如在 index 中有 1 万条 document, hello 这个单词在所有的 document 中,一共出现了 1000 次,world 这个单词在所有的 document 中一共出现 100 次。那么根据 IDF 算法此时 doc2 的相关度要比 doc1 要高。
对于 ES 还有一个 Field-length norm
field-length norm 就是 field 长度越长,相关度就越弱
搜索请求:hello world
doc1: {“title”: “hello article”, “content”: “1 万个单词 ”}
doc2: {“title”: “my article”, “content”: “1 万个单词,hi world”}
此时 hello world 在整个 index 中出现的次数是一样多的。但是根据 Field-length norm 此时 doc1 比 doc2 相关度要高。因为 title 字段更短。

通过观察我们可以知道
_score = boost * idf * tf
此时 boost = 2.2, idf = 0.18232156, tf = 0.5116279
idf = log(1 + (N - n + 0.5) / (n + 0.5))
此时 n = 2 (n, number of documents containing term), N = 2(N, total number of documents with field)
tf = freq / (freq + k1 * (1 - b + b * dl / avgdl))
此时 freq = 1(freq, occurrences of term within document), k1 = 1.2(k1, term saturation parameter), b = 0.75(b, length normalization parameter), d1 = 4 (dl, length of field), avgdl = 5.5(avgdl, average length of field)
