Question

In Azure AI Search, how can I use average aggregation with a scoring profile using tag functions?

Ed Ball 0

If I set functionAggregation to average with a scoring profile that uses one or more tag functions, the tag functions have no effect. Using sum, minimum, or maximum works fine. But sum makes no sense with two tag functions, whereas average is exactly what one would want. How can I use average aggregation with a scoring profile using tag functions?

Hi @Ed Ball
In Azure AI Search, when using a scoring profile with tag functions, setting functionAggregation to average may not yield the expected results because it seems that the tag functions do not contribute to the scoring when average aggregation is applied. This behavior is noted in the context where using sum, minimum, or maximum works correctly, but average does not seem to take effect with tag functions.

Unfortunately, there isn't a specific workaround mentioned in the provided context to enable average aggregation with tag functions. You might want to consider using sum, minimum, or maximum as alternatives, or check if there are updates or changes in the Azure documentation or forums that address this issue.
