hmm. something like that might help. lemme think about it.
but offhand, it's still going to overemphasize null words
(like "version") that are medium-low frequency.
and there's still the problem that adaptive scoring in
general tends to let scores grow without bound in a
meaningless way.
> I have no idea, though, how to estimate the idf for a newsgroup. Any
just count frequency over subjects being scored. it's
accurate enough for this purpose.
