edu.washington.cs.knowitall.extractor.RelationFirstNpChunkExtractor

Direct Known Subclasses:

ReVerbRelationExtractor

public abstract class RelationFirstNpChunkExtractor
extends Extractor<ChunkedSentence,ChunkedBinaryExtraction>

Extracts ChunkedBinaryExtraction objects by first extracting relations, and then for each relation, extracting a pair of arguments. A RelationFirstNpChunkExtractor must have:

• A relation extractor of type Extractor<NpChunkedSentence, NpChunkedExtraction>
• An argument1 extractor of type Extractor<NpChunkedExtraction, NpChunkArgumentExtraction>
• An argument2 extractor of type Extractor<NpChunkedExtraction, NpChunkArgumentExtraction>

Subclasses extending RelationFirstNpChunkExtractor are responsible for setting the extractors via the setRelationExtractor(Extractor), setArgument1Extractor(Extractor), and setArgument2Extractor(Extractor) methods.
