BoostRanker
The BoostRanker extends from the Function class and provides extra parameters.
public class BoostRanker extends CreateCollectionReq.Function
Request Syntax
BoostRanker.builder()
.name(String name)
.description(String description)
.inputFieldNames(List<String> inputFieldNames)
.params(Map<String, String> params)
.filter(String filter)
.weight(Float weight)
.randomScoreSeed(Long randomScoreSeed)
.randomScoreField(String randomScoreField)
.build()
BUILDER METHODS:
-
name(String name)The name of the function. This identifier is used to reference the function within queries and collections.
-
description(String description)A brief description of the function's purpose. This can be useful for documentation or clarity in larger projects and defaults to an empty string.
-
inputFieldNames(List<String> inputFieldNames)The name of the field containing the raw data that requires conversion to vector representation. For functions using
FunctionType.RERANK, this parameter accepts only one field name. -
params(Map<String, String> params)A set of key-value pairs that configures the function properties.
-
filter(String filter)The filter expression that will be used to match entities among search result entities. It can be any valid basic filter expression mentioned in Filtering Explained.
📘NotesOnly use basic operators, such as
==,>, or<. Using advanced operators, such astext_matchorphrase_match, will degrade search performance. -
weight(Float weight)The weight that will be multiplied by the scores of any matching entities in the raw search results.
The value should be a floating-point number.
-
To emphasize the importance of matching entities, set it to a value that boosts the scores.
-
To demote matching entities, assign this parameter a value that lowers their scores.
-
-
randomScoreSeed(Long randomScoreSeed)The random function that works with
randomScoreField(String randomScoreField)to generate a value between0and1randomly.You should specify an initial value to start a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG).
-
randomScoreField(String randomScoreField)The random function that works with
randomScoreSeed(Long randomScoreSeed)to generate a value between0and1randomly.You should specify the name of a field whose value will be used as a random factor in generating the random number. A field with unique values will suffice.
RETURN TYPE:
BoostRanker
RETURNS:
A boost ranker instance.
Examples:
import io.milvus.v2.service.collection.request.CreateCollectionReq.Function;
import io.milvus.v2.service.vector.request.ranker.BoostRanker
import java.util.Collections;
// use the ModelRanker class
BoostRanker boost = BoostRanker.builder()
.name("xxx_boost")
.description("boost on xxx")
.filter("xxx == 2")
.weight(0.5)
.randomScoreSeed(123)
.randomScoreField("id")
.build()
// Instead, you can use the Function class as well
CreateCollectionReq.Function boost = CreateCollectionReq.Function.builder()
.functionType(FunctionType.RERANK)
.name("xxx_boost")
.description("boost on xxx")
.param("reranker", "boost")
.param("filter", "xxx == 2")
.param("weight", "0.5")
.param("random_score", "{\"seed\": 123, \"field\": \"id\"}")
.build();
