About

Maintained by David Zimmermann-KollendaFirst published 2025-01-162 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

BM25 is a ranking function used by search engines to rank matching documents according to their relevance to a user's search query. This package provides a light wrapper around the 'BM25' 'rust' crate for Okapi BM25 text search. For more information, see Robertson et al. (1994) https://trec.nist.gov/pubs/trec3/t3_proceedings.html.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("rbm25", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("DavZim/rbm25")

Development version from DavZim/rbm25. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-rbm25

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
