Sense

public Sense(java.lang.String term,
             java.util.Set<java.lang.String> vocab,
             double missingP,
             java.lang.String name,
             int totalCount,
             java.util.List<Context> contexts)
      throws SearchEngineException

Creates a sense for a term.

Parameters:

term - the term of which this is a sense (e.g., bank)

vocab - the complete set of terms across all the senses for a term, which we can use to figure out probabilities for words not in our contexts.

missingP - the probability to use for a term that's not in the contexts.

name - the name of the sense (e.g., river

totalCount - the total count of occurences of this word over all senses.

contexts - the contexts in which this sense occurs

Throws:

SearchEngineException - if there are any errors processing the sense.

Method Detail

score

public double score(java.util.List<java.lang.String> context)

Parameters:

context - the terms in the context we're evaluating

Returns:

the probability of the word in this context having this sense

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

getTerm
