The Advanced Options appear when you click on Options>Advanced Options.
Description
Use the Advanced Options to set document analysis thresholds, scoring weights, geo decay, and other settings which impact the overall functionality of the platform and the widgets.
Field | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
Enable/Disable Scoring | When disabled, documents & entities are returned without significance or relevance scoring. Default setting is enabled. | |
Number of documents to analyze | The maximum number of documents to be returned from the Lucene (/ElasticSearch) query and analyzed according to the significance algorithm described above. Default is 1,000 Documents. | |
Scoring Weights | Ratio of Significence vs. Relevance scoring weights Default setting is 2:1 (Significance:Relevance) | |
Time Decay | Applies half-life principle to results ranking, based on desired time interval. Default setting: NA example | Example: 1m (one month) time decay - results within 1 month of the entered date are promoted to top of results; results between 1 to 2 months from decay time are halved; results 2 to 3 months from decay time are quartered, etc. |
Geo Decay | Applies half-life principle to results ranking based on distance (kilometers) from lat/long centerpoint default setting: None | Example: a geo decay of 10k (10 kilometers) means that results 10-20k from the centerpoint have their scores reduced by 50%, results 20-30k from centerpoint have scores reduced 25%, etc. |
Aggregate Significance Weighting | If true, aggregated entities are weighted by relevance to ensure entities occurring in more relevant documents are weighted up Default: Automatic (the platform attempts to decide for itself based on the query) | |
Aggregate Significance Weighting
Default: Automatic (the platform attempts to decide for itself based on the query)
If true, aggregated entities are weighted by relevance to ensure entities occurring in more relevant documents are weighted up
If false, ?
Manual Weightings
Default: None
Source: Documents from weighted source are promoted to top of query results
Type: Documents matching weighted source type are promoted to top of query results
Tag: Documents matching weighted source tag are promoted to top of query results
The weights are applied as follows:
First the source weights are applied.
If no source weight matches the document, then the type weights are applied.
If no type weight matches the document, then a tag weight is generated by averaging all matching entries from the "tagWeights" map.
If no weight matches the document, then its total score is preserved.
Return Documents
Default: Enabled
If disabled, documents are excluded from query results and therefore no results displayed in Doc Viewer. Only entities, events, facts, geo-tags,
Return Standalone Events
Default: Disabled
Aggregates events, facts and summaries while retaining the temporal element (unlike event/fact aggregation)
Standalone events only viewable in the event timeline widget (vs event/fact aggregations in the event graph)
Max Documents to Return
Default: 100 Documents
Max # of documents to return in Doc Viewer results list
# Documents to Skip
Default: None
Discards the first X documents. If set to 100, skips docs 1-100
Include Entities
Default: Enabled
If disabled, entities and entity scoring are not returned with queries - will result in slightly improved performance and query time.
Score Entities
Default: Enabled
If disabled, entities are returned with queries, however significance/relevance scoring is not performed - will result in slightly improved performance and query time.
Include Geotags
Default: Enabled
If disabled, geotags are excluded from query results. Map Widget will not display docs.
Include Metadata
Default: Enabled
If disabled, source-specific metadata is not returned with query results.
Include Summaries
Default: Enabled
If disabled, document summaries are excluded front query results.
Include Events
Default: Enabled
If disabled, events are excluded from query results.
Include Facts
Default: Enabled
If disabled, facts are excluded from query results.
Aggregate Geotags
Default: Enabled
If disabled, most common geotags are not aggregated.
Max Geotags to Return - Default: 1,000
Aggregate Times
Default: Enabled
If disabled, document counts of query results are not aggregated.
Aggregation Interval - Default: 1w (one week)
Aggregate Entities
Default: Enabled
If disabled, top ranking entities are not aggregated.
Max Entities to Return - Default: 250 (recommend setting to 3,000+)
Aggregate Events
Default: Enabled
If disabled, top ranking events are not aggregated.
Max Events to Return - Default: 100
Aggregate Facts
Default: Enabled
If disabled, top ranking facts are not aggregated.
Max Facts to Return - Default: 100
Aggregate Sources
Default: Disabled
If enabled,
Aggregate Source Metadata
Default: Disabled
If enabled,
Entity Filters
Docs not containing an entity of that type will be discarded
Other entities types will be discarded from docs that are promoted
Negative filters - entering a minus (-) before an entity type will discard that entity type from all results, no effect on query (i.e. -keyword will omit all keywords
Association Filters
Docs not containing an association of that type will be discarded
Other association types will be discarded from docs that are promoted
Negative filters - entering a minus (-) before an association type will discard that association type from all results, no effect on query (i.e. -generic relations)
