Method Detail

getLocale

@NotNull
LdLocale getLocale()

getGramLengths

@NotNull
List<Integer> getGramLengths()

Tells what the n in n-grams are used here. Example: [1,2,3]

Returns:

Sorted from smaller to larger.

getFrequency

int getFrequency(String gram)

Parameters:

gram - for example "a" or "foo".

Returns:

0-n, also zero if this profile does not use n-grams of that length (for example if no 4-grams are made).

getNumGrams

int getNumGrams(int gramLength)

Tells how many different n-grams there are for a certain n-gram size. For example the English language has about 57 different 1-grams, whereas Chinese in Hani has thousands.

Parameters:

gramLength - 1-n

Returns:

0-n, returns zero if no such n-grams were made (for example if no 4-grams were made), or if all the training text did not contain such long words.

getNumGrams

int getNumGrams()

Tells how many n-grams there are for all n-gram sizes combined.

Returns:

0-n (0 only on an empty profile...)

getNumGramOccurrences

long getNumGramOccurrences(int gramLength)

Tells how often all n-grams of a certain length occurred, combined. This returns a much larger number than getNumGrams(int).

Parameters:

gramLength - 1-n

Returns:

0-n, returns zero if no such n-grams were made (for example if no 4-grams were made), or if all the training text did not contain such long words.

getMinGramCount

long getMinGramCount(int gramLength)

Tells how often the n-gram with the lowest amount of occurrences used in this profile occurred. Most likely there were n-grams with less (unless the returned number is 1), but they were eliminated in order to keep the profile reasonably small. This is the opposite of getMaxGramCount().

Parameters:

gramLength - 1-n

Returns:

0-n, returns zero if no such n-grams were made or existed.

getMaxGramCount

long getMaxGramCount(int gramLength)

Tells how often the n-gram with the highest amount of occurrences used in this profile occurred. This is the opposite of getMinGramCount().

Parameters:

gramLength - 1-n

Returns:

0-n, returns zero if no such n-grams were made or existed.

iterateGrams

@NotNull
Iterable<Map.Entry<String,Integer>> iterateGrams()

Iterates all ngram strings with frequency.

iterateGrams

@NotNull
Iterable<Map.Entry<String,Integer>> iterateGrams(int gramLength)

Iterates all gramLength-gram strings with frequency.
