本文是Xapian检索过程的分析,本文内容中源码比较多。检索过程,总的来说就是拉取倒排链,取得合法doc,然后做打分排序的过程。

1 理论分析

1.1  检索语法

面对不同的检索业务,我们会有多种检索需求,譬如:要求A term和B term都在Doc中出现;要求A term或者B term任意在Doc中出现;要求A term或者B term任意在Doc出现,并且C term不出现…...,用符号表示:

A & B

A || B

(A || B) & ~C

( A & ( B || C ) ) || D

以上的种种检索需求,复杂繁多,每一个检索需求都单独实现一份代码,是不现实的,需要有一种简单、高效、可扩展的检索语法来支持他们。

1.2 检索过程

首先是根据业务需求,组装检索语句,然后调用检索内核提供的API获取检索结果。

检索内核的实现,以xapian为例:首先根据用户组装的检索语句形成query-tree(query检索树),然后将query-tree转换为postlist-tree(倒排链树),最后获取postlist-tree运算后的结果。在获取postlist-tree和最后的计算过程中,穿插着相关性公式(如:BM25)的运算。

1.3 相关性

计算query跟doc相关性方式有好几种,

(1) 布尔模型(Boolean Model)
判断用户的term在不在文档中出现,如果出现了则认为文档跟用户需求相关,否则认为不相关。
优点:简单;
缺点:结果是二元的,只有YES 或者 NO, 多条结果之间没有先后顺序;

(2)向量空间模型(Vector Space Model)
将query和doc都向量化,计算query跟doc的余弦值,这个值就是query跟doc的相似性打分。这里将查询跟文档的内容相似性替换相关性。
这个模型对长文本比较抑制。
consine公式:向量点积 / 向量长度相乘。
那么,怎么向量化?每一纬的值,给多少合适?
词频因子(TF):某个单词在文档中出现的次数;一般取log做平滑,避免直接使用词频导致出现1次和出现10次的term权重差异过大。 常见公式: Wtf = 1 + log(TF). 常量1是为了避免TF=1时,log(TF) = 0,导致W变成0。
变体公式: Wtf = a + (1 - a) * TF/Max(TF),其中a是调节因子,取值0.4或者0.5,TF表示词频,Max(TF)表示文档中出现次数最多的单词对应的词频数目。这个变种有利于抑制长文本,使得不同长度文档的词频因子具有可比性。
逆文档频率因子(IDF):包含有某个词的文档数量的倒数。如果一个词在所有文档中都出现,那么这个词对文档的区分度贡献不高,不是那么重要,反之,则说明这个词很重要。
公式: IDFk = log(N/nk), N代表文档集合总共有多少个文档;nk代表词在多少个文档中出现过。

TF*IDF框架
Weight = TF * IDF

(3)概率检索模型
BIM模型的公式,由四个部分组成,这四个部分可以理解为:

1、含有某term的doc在相关集合中出现的次数,正面因素;
2、不含有某term的doc在相关集合中出现的次数,负面因素;
3、含有某term的doc在不相关集合中出现的次数,负面因素;
4、不含有某term的doc在不相关集合中不出现的次数,正面因素。


BM25公式,三部分:1、BIM模型,等价于IDF;2、term在文档中的权重(doc-tf);3、term在query中的权重(query-tf);

N,表示索引中总的文档数,
Ni,表示索引中包含有term的文档数,也就是df,
fi,表示term在文档中出现的次数,
qfi,表示term在query中出现的次数,
dl,表示文档长度,
avdl,表示平均文档长度

BM25F
考虑到不同的域,对第二部分的平均长度、调节因子,需要根据不同的域设置不同的值,并且需要一个跟域相关联的权重值。

2 源码分析

2.1 主要类

下面以xapian为例,介绍一般检索过程,因涉及源码众多,部分枝节策略不一一细说。首先,这里列出,涉及到的主要类,从这里也可以一窥xapian在检索上的设计思路。

绿色背景的块是用户看到的,蓝色背景是其底层涉及到的。

Enquire::Internal,Enquire的内部实现,Xapian的设计风格都是包一层壳,功能实际的实现放在Internal中;

BM25Weight,Xapian默认使用的相关性打分类;

Weight::Internal,打分需要用到的基础信息,譬如:索引库文档量、索引库总的term长度、query里的 term的tf、df数据…;

MultiMatch,检索的实现类;

LocalSubMatch,本地子索引库操作的封装。 xapian支持远程索引库,也支持一个索引库拆分成多个子索引库;

QueryOptimiser ,从Query-Tree构建PostList-Tree时的帮助类,主要记录了一些子索引库相关的信息,譬如:LocalSubMatch的引用、索引库DataBase的引用…;

QueryOr、QueryBranch、QueryTerm ,这系列是Query Tree上的一个个类;

PostList、LeafPostList,PostList-Tree上的一个个类;

InMemoryPostList,内存索引库的PostList封装;

OrContext,记录在Query-Tree转PostList-Tree过程中的PostList上下文信息,包括:QueryOptimiser对象指针、临时存放的PostList指针;

2.2 检索过程

2.2.1 用户demo代码

Xapian::Query term_one = Xapian::Query("T世界");
Xapian::Query term_two = Xapian::Query("T比赛");
Xapian::Query query = Xapian::Query(Xapian::Query::OP_OR, term_one, term_two); // query组装

std::cout << "query=" << query.get_description() << std::endl;

Xapian::Enquire enquire(db);
enquire.set_query(query);
Xapian::MSet result = enquire.get_mset(0, 10); // 执行检索,获取结果
std::cout << "find results count=" << result.get_matches_estimated() << std::endl;

for (auto it = result.begin(); it != result.end(); ++it) {
    Xapian::Document doc = it.get_document();
    std::string data = doc.get_data();
    double doc_score_weight = it.get_weight();
    int doc_score_percent = it.get_percent();
    std::cout << "doc=" << data << ",weight=" << doc_score_weight << ",percent=" << doc_score_percent << std::endl;
}

2.2.2 query组装的实现

    只有一个类——Query,通过构造函数重载,提供了一切需要的功能。

    eg:

Query::Query(const string & term, Xapian::termcount wqf, Xapian::termpos pos)
    : internal(new Xapian::Internal::QueryTerm(term, wqf, pos)) {
    LOGCALL_CTOR(API, "Query", term | wqf | pos);
}
Query(op op_, const Xapian::Query & a, const Xapian::Query & b) {
    init(op_, 2);
    bool positional = (op_ == OP_NEAR || op_ == OP_PHRASE);
    add_subquery(positional, a);
    add_subquery(positional, b);
    done();
}

/* 根据OP,生成对应的Query派生类,譬如:or的生成 QueryOr类,含有两个子query,这个QueryOr类对象作为Query的internal成员存在;
在组合多个query时,直接添加到vector中;
如果最后发现vector是空的则将internal设置为NULL,或者=1,则将internal设置为子query的internal,这样子可以避免不必要的vector嵌套,如:[xxquery],单个元素没必要放在vector中。*/

...

检索树的组织没有做特别的设计,譬如:用vector来存储OR的元素。

2.2.3 检索的实现

(1)检索函数入口

MSet Enquire::Internal::get_mset(Xapian::doccount first, Xapian::doccount maxitems, Xapian::doccount check_at_least, const RSet *rset, const MatchDecider *mdecider) const {
    LOGCALL(MATCH, MSet, "Enquire::Internal::get_mset", first | maxitems | check_at_least | rset | mdecider);

    if (percent_cutoff && (sort_by == VAL || sort_by == VAL_REL)) {
        throw Xapian::UnimplementedError("Use of a percentage cutoff while sorting primary by value isn't currently supported");
    }

    if (weight == 0) {
        weight = new BM25Weight;  // 如果外界没有指定打分策略,采用BM25Weight
    }

    Xapian::doccount first_orig = first;
    {
        Xapian::doccount docs = db.get_doccount();
        first = min(first, docs);
        maxitems = min(maxitems, docs - first);
        check_at_least = min(check_at_least, docs);
        check_at_least = max(check_at_least, first + maxitems);
    }

    AutoPtr<Xapian::Weight::Internal> stats(new Xapian::Weight::Internal);  // 用于记录打分用的全局信息
// MultiMatch对象的初始化,会执行检索的初始化工作,譬如:填充stats对象,
::MultiMatch match(db, query, qlen, rset, collapse_max, collapse_key, percent_cutoff, weight_cutoff, order, sort_key, sort_by, sort_value_forward, time_limit, *(stats.get()), weight, spies, (sorter.get() != NULL), (mdecider != NULL)); // Run query and put results into supplied Xapian::MSet object. MSet retval; match.get_mset(first, maxitems, check_at_least, retval, *(stats.get()), mdecider, sorter.get()); // 检索 if (first_orig != first && retval.internal.get()) { retval.internal->firstitem = first_orig; } Assert(weight->name() != "bool" || retval.get_max_possible() == 0); // The Xapian::MSet needs to have a pointer to ourselves, so that it can // retrieve the documents. This is set here explicitly to avoid having // to pass it into the matcher, which gets messy particularly in the // networked case. retval.internal->enquire = this; if (!retval.internal->stats) { retval.internal->stats = stats.release(); } RETURN(retval); }

(2)检索之前的准备工作,在 MultiMatch 对象构造的时候做,prepare_sub_matches:

static void prepare_sub_matches(vector<intrusive_ptr<SubMatch> > & leaves, Xapian::Weight::Internal & stats) {
    LOGCALL_STATIC_VOID(MATCH, "prepare_sub_matches", leaves | stats);
    // We use a vector<bool> to track which SubMatches we're already prepared.
    vector<bool> prepared;
    prepared.resize(leaves.size(), false);
    size_t unprepared = leaves.size();
    bool nowait = true;
    while (unprepared) {
        for (size_t leaf = 0; leaf < leaves.size(); ++leaf) {
            if (prepared[leaf]) continue;
            SubMatch * submatch = leaves[leaf].get();
            if (!submatch || submatch->prepare_match(nowait, stats)) {
                prepared[leaf] = true;
                --unprepared;
            }
        }
        // Use blocking IO on subsequent passes, so that we don't go into
        // a tight loop.
        nowait = false;
    }
}
bool LocalSubMatch::prepare_match(bool nowait, Xapian::Weight::Internal & total_stats) {
    LOGCALL(MATCH, bool, "LocalSubMatch::prepare_match", nowait | total_stats);
    (void)nowait;
    Assert(db);
    total_stats.accumulate_stats(*db, rset);
    RETURN(true);
}
View Code
void Weight::Internal::accumulate_stats(const Xapian::Database::Internal &subdb, const Xapian::RSet &rset) {
#ifdef XAPIAN_ASSERTIONS
    Assert(!finalised);
    ++subdbs;
#endif
    total_length += subdb.get_total_length();
    collection_size += subdb.get_doccount();
    rset_size += rset.size();

    total_term_count += subdb.get_doccount() * subdb.get_total_length();
    Xapian::TermIterator t;
    for (t = query.get_unique_terms_begin(); t != Xapian::TermIterator(); ++t) {
        const string & term = *t;

        Xapian::doccount sub_tf;
        Xapian::termcount sub_cf;
        subdb.get_freqs(term, &sub_tf, &sub_cf);
        TermFreqs & tf = termfreqs[term];
        tf.termfreq += sub_tf;
        tf.collfreq += sub_cf;

        // and we can skip the document's termlist, so look for each query term
        // in the document.
        AutoPtr<TermList> tl(subdb.open_term_list(did));

            if (tl->at_end()) {
                break;
            }
            if (term == tl->get_termname()) {
                ++i->second.reltermfreq;
            }
        }
    }
}

prepare_sub_matches(): BM25计算之前的准备工作
Weight::Internal::accumulate_stats:
total_length:db的总文档长度加和;
collection_size:db的总文档数量;
total_term_count: 存疑,变量名是term计数,实际上是总文档长度加和 * 总文档数量;
termfreqs: term的tf信息(term在多少个doc中出现)和cf信息(term在索引集合中出现的次数);
query中涉及到的所有term,都获取到它们的TF、IDF信息;
极致的压缩:VectorTermList,把几个string存储的term压缩存储到一个块内存中。如果使用vector来存储,则会增加30Byte每一个term。

(3)打开倒排链,构造postlist-tree:

打开倒排链和检索放在一个800行的超大函数里面:

void MultiMatch::get_mset(Xapian::doccount first, Xapian::doccount maxitems,
             Xapian::doccount check_at_least,
             Xapian::MSet & mset,
             Xapian::Weight::Internal & stats,
             const Xapian::MatchDecider *mdecider,
             const Xapian::KeyMaker *sorter) {
........
}

打开倒排链的过程,函数多层嵌套非常深入,这也是检索树解析-->重建过程:

    LOGCALL(MATCH, PostList *, "LocalSubMatch::get_postlist", matcher | total_subqs_ptr);

    if (query.empty()) {
        RETURN(new EmptyPostList); // MatchNothing
    }

    // LocalSubMatch::open_post_list() for each term in the query.

    {
        QueryOptimiser opt(*db, *this, matcher);
        pl = query.internal->postlist(&opt, 1.0);
        *total_subqs_ptr = opt.get_total_subqs();
    }

    if (extra_wt->get_maxextra() != 0.0) {
        // There's a term-independent weight contribution, so we combine the
        // postlist tree with an ExtraWeightPostList which adds in this
        // contribution.
        pl = new ExtraWeightPostList(pl, extra_wt.release(), matcher);
    }

    RETURN(pl);
}

    // FIXME: we could optimise by merging OP_ELITE_SET and OP_OR like we do

    // OP_SYNONYM with a single subquery is only simplified by

    postlists.reserve(subqueries.size() - first);

    QueryVector::const_iterator q;
    for (q = subqueries.begin() + first; q != subqueries.end(); ++q) {

总的来说,这一阶段:

stats设置给LocalSubMatch对象;
获取倒排列表,根据query-tree构建postlist-tree;同时,clone一个Weight对象,计算BM25所需要的计算因子;平均文档长度,文档的最短长度,term最大的wdf(term在某doc中出现的次数);
计算BM25公式的idf部分:tw = (get_collection_size() - tf + 0.5) / (tf + 0.5); termweight = log(tw) * factor;
计算BM25公式的term在query中的权重部分:double wqf_double = get_wqf(); termweight *= (param_k3 + 1) * wqf_double / (param_k3 + wqf_double);
计算BM25公式的term跟doc相关程度的一部分参数: termweight *= (param_k1 + 1);
计算BM25公式的平均长度分之一:len_factor = 1 / len_factor;
计算maxpart() ,BM25算法,没有地方用这个值;

这就把BM25公式中,不跟具体doc相关的第一和第三部分计算完成。

构建postlist-tree,如果是And的语法,则使用PostList * AndContext::postlist() 生成postlist,然后把子postlist-tree销毁掉;

(4)最终召回排序

循环从postlist-tree拉取docid,然后计算BM25打分,
倒排与链求交过程:
PostList * MultiAndPostList::find_next_match(double w_min)

两个有序链表求交
0、第一个链表pos往前走一步;
1、取出第一个链表的元素;
2、find_next_match() --> check_helper() 将第二链表的pos往前走,保证第二链表当前位置大于等于第一链表;
3、取出来第二链表的当前元素,跟第一链表原始做比较;
4、如果不匹配则让第一链表往前走;

注:拉链法。

主要代码如下:

/// 注:在调用这个函数之前会先调用next_helper函数,将第一条链表的位置向前移动一位(如果是首次调用则不移动),
/// find_next_match函数让plist[0]倒排链定位到合适的位置,当能定位到合适的位置(plist[0]和plist[1]有交集)则返回,
/// 否则说明没有交集,设置did=0后返回;调用者会通过判断did==0来确定当前链表交集是否已经做完;
PostList * MultiAndPostList::find_next_match(double w_min) { advanced_plist0: if (plist[0]->at_end()) { did = 0; return NULL; } did = plist[0]->get_docid(); for (size_t i = 1; i < n_kids; ++i) { bool valid; check_helper(i, did, w_min, valid); if (!valid) { next_helper(0, w_min); goto advanced_plist0; } if (plist[i]->at_end()) { did = 0; return NULL; } Xapian::docid new_did = plist[i]->get_docid(); if (new_did != did) {
/// 两条链表的pos元素不相等,只可能是因为plist[0].pos的元素比较小,需要向前移 skip_to_helper(
0, new_did, w_min); goto advanced_plist0; } } return NULL; }

获取BM25打分:

double LeafPostList::get_weight() const {
    if (!weight) return 0;
    Xapian::termcount doclen = 0, unique_terms = 0;
    // Fetching the document length and number of unique terms is work we can
    // avoid if the weighting scheme doesn't use them.
    if (need_doclength)
        doclen = get_doclength();
    if (need_unique_terms)
        unique_terms = get_unique_terms();
    double sumpart = weight->get_sumpart(get_wdf(), doclen, unique_terms); // 这里对某个doc的最终BM25打分做了汇总,利用到了前面计算的第一和第三部分打分
    AssertRel(sumpart, <=, weight->get_maxpart());
    return sumpart;
}

两个有序链表求并
PostList * OrPostList::next(double w_min)
两个链表都取,在get_docid()时取最小did;如果其中一条倒排链已经取完,则用剩下的链替换之前两条链的owner。

percent是怎么计算的?
    percent_scale = greatest_wt_subqs_matched / double(total_subqs);
    percent_scale /= greatest_wt;
首先跟命中词个数占总搜索term个数有关系,然后,跟最大的匹配得分有关系,percent_scale会作为percent的因子:

    double v = wt * percent_factor + 100.0 * DBL_EPSILON;  // percent_scale就是percent_factor,v就是percent

    从BM25打分的执行过程,可以想到,有部分BM25打分因子(第一部分idf因子、第二部分term-doc相关性因子)是不需要在线计算的,只需要离线计算后并存储在倒排中即可。

    当前默认使用的BM25Weight打分策略,没有使用get_maxextra函数和get_sumextra函数。

    percent更详细的介绍可以看这里:https://www.cnblogs.com/cswuyg/p/10552564.html

最终召回结果怎么做limit截断?

    当用户只需要n条,而召回结果大于n条,在处理n+1条时,使用std::make_heap,构造堆(如果之前已经构造了,则不需要再构造,直接往堆里加元素),并弹出打分最小的doc,保证只有n条资源。另外,程序还记录了min_weight,当资源打分小于min_weight,则直接丢弃,不需要走构建堆的过程。(详细源码见 multimatch.cc,746行起)
