Project Part 1 - sample output

Some of you wanted to verify whether the output of your code was correct. Here are some sample outputs that I got, and my assumptions. If you used different assumptions, you would get different results, but it doesn't mean that your results are wrong.

Assumptions:

TF value is not normalized

IDF value is not normalized

in the TF-based similarity, all query words are given equal weight

in the TF-IDF based similarity, the query words are weight by IDF alone, not (0.5 + 0.5*tf)*idf [slide 62]

TF-based similarity
