From 2fa924e05791eed5e7662594a98bdfff75fadb54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ryoppippi <1560508+ryoppippi@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2025 18:25:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat(meta-tools): add hybrid BM25 + TF-IDF search strategy - Add TF-IDF vector search implementation in src/utils/tfidf-index.ts - Implement hybrid search combining BM25 (Orama) and TF-IDF - Add strategy parameter to metaTools() method: 'bm25', 'tfidf', or 'hybrid' - Add hybridAlpha parameter to control BM25/TF-IDF weight in hybrid mode - Add comprehensive tests for all search strategies - Update tsconfig.json to exclude *.test.ts files from type checking The hybrid strategy uses weighted score fusion: score = alpha * bm25 + (1 - alpha) * tfidf Default alpha is 0.5 (equal weight to both algorithms) Based on evaluation results from tool-calling-evals showing improved performance with hybrid approach combining BM25 and TF-IDF. --- src/tests/meta-tools.spec.ts | 136 ++++++++++++++++++++++- src/tool.ts | 198 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- src/utils/tfidf-index.test.ts | 44 ++++++++ src/utils/tfidf-index.ts | 192 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tsconfig.json | 2 +- 5 files changed, 541 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/utils/tfidf-index.test.ts create mode 100644 src/utils/tfidf-index.ts diff --git a/src/tests/meta-tools.spec.ts b/src/tests/meta-tools.spec.ts index efdb5db6..5cefe40e 100644 --- a/src/tests/meta-tools.spec.ts +++ b/src/tests/meta-tools.spec.ts @@ -160,7 +160,7 @@ describe('Meta Search Tools', () => { beforeEach(async () => { const mockTools = createMockTools();
