LBJ2.nlp
Class Affixes

java.lang.Object
  LBJ2.classify.Classifier
      LBJ2.nlp.Affixes

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class Affixes
extends Classifier

This class implements a classifier that takes a Word as input and generates features representing the prefixes and suffixes of the input word. The generated features include prefixes of length 3 and 4 and suffixes of lengths 1 through 4 of the input word only. If any of those words do not exist, the corresponding features aren't generated.

This class's implementation was automatically generated by the LBJ compiler.

getInputType

public java.lang.String getInputType()

Description copied from class: Classifier

Returns a string describing the input type of this classifier. The type name must be fully specified (i.e. including its package name). For example, the default return value of this method is:

 "java.lang.Object" 

This method should be overridden by derived classes.

Overrides:

getInputType in class Classifier

Returns:

A string representation of the expected input type of this classifier.

getOutputType

public java.lang.String getOutputType()

Description copied from class: Classifier

Returns a string describing the output feature type of this classifier. It should either contain the basic type (discrete or real) and square brackets or a percent sign if the classifier returns an array or is a generator respectively, or simply mixed%. In the case that the basic type is discrete, the curly braces containing a list of allowable values should be omitted, as this list is provided by the allowableValues() method. The default return value of this method is:

 "discrete" 

This method should be overridden by derived classes.

Overrides:

getOutputType in class Classifier

Returns:

A string representation of the output feature type of this classifier.

classify

public FeatureVector classify(java.lang.Object __example)

Description copied from class: Classifier

This method makes one or more decisions about a single object, returning those decisions as Features in a vector.

Specified by:

classify in class Classifier

Parameters:

__example - The object to make decisions about.

Returns:

A vector of Features about the input object.

classify

public FeatureVector[] classify(java.lang.Object[] examples)

Description copied from class: Classifier

Use this method to make a batch of classification decisions about several objects. This function is implemented in the most naive way (simply calling classify(Object) repeatedly) and should be overridden if there is a more efficient implementation.

Overrides:

classify in class Classifier

Parameters:

examples - The objects to make decisions about.

Returns:

An array of feature vectors, one per input object.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object
