// Package ranking fuses the several retrieval signals a search produces into a

// single ordered result list, and records why each result ranked where it did.

// The output is a QUERY RELEVANCE score. It is deliberately a different number
|

// from semantic similarity (how alike two texts are) and from relationship
|

// strength (how well evidenced a link between two items is). Conflating the

// three would make every explanation meaningless, so they are kept apart all

// the way to the interface.
