A system and method for determining a similarity between a document and a query includes providing a frequently used dictionary and an infrequently used dictionary in storage memory. For each word or gram in the infrequently used dictionary, n words or grams are correlated from the frequently used dictionary based on a first score. Features for a vector of the infrequently used words or grams are replaced with features from a vector of the correlated words or grams from the frequently used dictionary when the features from a vector of the correlated words or grams meet a threshold value. A similarity score is determined between weight vectors of a query and one or more documents in a corpus by employing the features from the vector of the correlated words or grams that met the threshold value.
