Method Detail

main

public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws IOException

compute recall / precision scores for named entities for a set of files. Takes 5 or more arguments:

• test-directory: directory containing test files
• test-file-list: list of test files
• key-directory: directory containing keys
• key-file-list: list of key files (with in-line XML tags)
  the following two arguments, if present, indicate that a HMM tagger is to be applied to the test file before scoring
• unigram|bigram:
• tagger-model: file containing HMM model
• tag-1: tag to score
• tag-2: tag to score
• ...

Throws:

IOException

scoreCollection

public static void scoreCollection(NameTagger tagger,
                   String testCollection,
                   String keyCollection,
                   String[] tagsToScore)

scoreCollection

public static void scoreCollection(NameTagger tagger,
                   DocumentCollection testCol,
                   DocumentCollection keyCol,
                   String[] tagsToScore)

computes the recall/precision of 'testCollection' with respect to 'keyCollection' (which should have the same documents) with respect to the name annotations in 'tagsToScore'. Reports both per-document and total scores to System.out.
