The correlation between similarity and relevance is much lower. Two music pieces might be similar because they both use similar instruments, timbres, tempos and singers, but they are not necessary both relevant to my information need if I am looking for waltzes, and one piece is in 3/4 and the other in 4/4." Ideally, how would you want to interact with a search environment to satisfy the above? For example, a query containing a piece of your favorite music returning other similar music pieces?
