Method Details

generateOutcomes

@Deprecated
public static String[] generateOutcomes(Span[] names,
 String type,
 int length)

Deprecated.

use the BioCodec implementation of the SequenceValidator instead!

Generates the name tag outcomes (start, continue, other) for each token in a sentence with the specified length using the specified name spans.

Parameters:

names - Token spans for each of the names.

type - null or overrides the type parameter in the provided samples

length - The length of the sentence.

Returns:

An array of start, continue, other outcomes based on the specified names and sentence length.

generateEvents

public static List<Event> generateEvents(String[] sentence,
 String[] outcomes,
 NameContextGenerator cg)

additionalContext

public static String[][] additionalContext(String[] tokens,
 Map<String,String> prevMap)

Generated previous decision features for each token based on contents of the specified map.

Parameters:

tokens - The token for which the context is generated.

prevMap - A mapping of tokens to their previous decisions.

Returns:

An additional context array with features for each token.
