  opennlp.tools.coref.sim.SimilarityModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

TestSimilarityModel, TrainSimilarityModel

public class SimilarityModel
extends Object
implements TestSimilarityModel, TrainSimilarityModel

Models semantic similarity between two mentions and returns a score based on how semantically comparable the mentions are with one another.

Method Summary

double	compatible(Context mention1, Context mention2) Returns a number between 0 and 1 which represents the models belief that the specified mentions are compatible.
static void	main(String[] args)
void	setExtents(Context[] extentContexts) Creates simialrity training pairs based on the specified extents.
static TestSimilarityModel	testModel(String name)
void	trainModel() Train a model based on the previously supplied evidence.

Method Detail

testModel

public static TestSimilarityModel testModel(String name)
                                     throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

trainModel

public static TrainSimilarityModel trainModel(String name)
                                       throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

setExtents

public void setExtents(Context[] extentContexts)

Description copied from interface: TrainSimilarityModel

Creates simialrity training pairs based on the specified extents. Extents are considered compatible is they are in the same coreference chain, have the same named-entity tag, or share a common head word. Incompatible extents are chosen at random from the set of extents which don't meet this criteria.

Specified by:

setExtents in interface TrainSimilarityModel

compatible

public double compatible(Context mention1,
                         Context mention2)

Returns a number between 0 and 1 which represents the models belief that the specified mentions are compatible. Value closer to 1 are more compatible, while values closer to 0 are less compatible.

Specified by:

compatible in interface TestSimilarityModel

Parameters:

mention1 - The first mention to be considered.

mention2 - The second mention to be considered.

Returns:

a number between 0 and 1 which represents the models belief that the specified mentions are compatible.

trainModel

public void trainModel()
                throws IOException

Train a model based on the previously supplied evidence.

Specified by:

trainModel in interface TrainSimilarityModel

Throws:

IOException
