Package edu.stanford.nlp.parser.lexparser

Class EnglishUnknownWordModel

java.lang.Object

edu.stanford.nlp.parser.lexparser.BaseUnknownWordModel

edu.stanford.nlp.parser.lexparser.EnglishUnknownWordModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

UnknownWordModel, Serializable

public class EnglishUnknownWordModel
extends BaseUnknownWordModel

This is a basic unknown word model for English. It supports 5 different types of feature modeling; see getSignature(String, int). Implementation note: the contents of this class tend to overlap somewhat with ArabicUnknownWordModel and were originally included in BaseLexicon.

Constructor Detail

EnglishUnknownWordModel

public EnglishUnknownWordModel(Options op,
                               Lexicon lex,
                               Index<String> wordIndex,
                               Index<String> tagIndex,

EnglishUnknownWordModel

public EnglishUnknownWordModel(Options op,
                               Lexicon lex,
                               Index<String> wordIndex,
                               Index<String> tagIndex)

This constructor creates an UWM with empty data structures. Only use if loading in the data separately, such as by reading in text lines containing the data.

Method Detail

score

public float score(IntTaggedWord iTW,
                   int loc,
                   double c_Tseen,
                   double total,
                   double smooth,
                   String word)

Description copied from class: BaseUnknownWordModel

Currently we don't consider loc or the other parameters in determining score in the default implementation; only English uses them.

Specified by:

score in interface UnknownWordModel

Overrides:

score in class BaseUnknownWordModel

Parameters:

iTW - An IntTaggedWord pairing a word and POS tag

loc - The position in the sentence. In the default implementation this is used only for unknown words to change their probability distribution when sentence initial. Now, a negative value

c_Tseen - Total count of this tag (on seen words) in training

total - Total count of word tokens in training

smooth - Weighting on prior P(T|U) in estimate

word - The word itself; useful so we don't look it up in the index

Returns:

A double valued score, usually - log P(word|tag)

scoreProbTagGivenWordSignature

public double scoreProbTagGivenWordSignature(IntTaggedWord iTW,
                                             int loc,
                                             double smooth,
                                             String word)

Calculate P(Tag|Signature) with Bayesian smoothing via just P(Tag|Unknown)

Specified by:

scoreProbTagGivenWordSignature in interface UnknownWordModel

Overrides:

scoreProbTagGivenWordSignature in class BaseUnknownWordModel

getSignatureIndex

public int getSignatureIndex(int index,
                             int sentencePosition,
                             String word)

Returns the index of the signature of the word numbered wordIndex, where the signature is the String representation of unknown word features.

Specified by:

getSignatureIndex in interface UnknownWordModel

Overrides:

getSignatureIndex in class BaseUnknownWordModel

getSignature

public String getSignature(String word,
                           int loc)

This routine returns a String that is the "signature" of the class of a word. For, example, it might represent whether it is a number of ends in -s. The strings returned by convention matches the pattern UNK(-.+)? , which is just assumed to not match any real word. Behavior depends on the unknownLevel (-uwm flag) passed in to the class. The recognized numbers are 1-5: 5 is fairly English-specific; 4, 3, and 2 look for various word features (digits, dashes, etc.) which are only vaguely English-specific; 1 uses the last two characters combined with a simple classification by capitalization.

Specified by:

getSignature in interface UnknownWordModel

Overrides:

getSignature in class BaseUnknownWordModel

Parameters:

word - The word to make a signature for

loc - Its position in the sentence (mainly so sentence-initial capitalized words can be treated differently)

Returns:

A String that is its signature (equivalence class)
