Hi

I have a noobie question. I am trying to use the SweetSpotSimilarity =
(SSS) class.

=
http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_5_0/api/contri=
b-misc/org/apache/lucene/misc/SweetSpotSimilarity.html

I understand the scoring behavior of Lucene

=
http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_5_0/api/all/or=
g/apache/lucene/search/Similarity.html

And I am aware that SweetSpotSimilarity resulted from this paper

http://trec.nist.gov/pubs/trec16/papers/ibm-haifa.mq.final.pdf

However, I was wondering if there was a resource that explained (and =
gave examples) of how SSS works and what each parameter (hyperbolic, =
etc) means. I know this is a Lucene list but I am actually trying to use =
SSS in solr. I am aware of SOLR-1365 patch that makes configuring SSS =
easier (in the schema.xml)=20

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1365

but I am having trouble understanding what some of the 13 parameters are =
and how they map to SSS.=20

Thank you

Peyman=20
