Class ExtractionFeature

java.lang.Object

edu.washington.cs.knowitall.extractor.conf.featureset.ExtractionFeature

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.google.common.base.Predicate<ChunkedBinaryExtraction>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ChunkFeature, PosFeature, TokenFeature, VerbTokenFeature

public abstract class ExtractionFeature
extends Object
implements com.google.common.base.Predicate<ChunkedBinaryExtraction>

A parent class for any feature that picks a particular range and applies a test to all indices within that range. For example, the feature `return true if arg2 contains token "fish"` would be implemented by having rangeToExamine() return arg2.getRange() and testAtIndex() returning sentence.getToken(index).equalsIgnoreCase("fish");

rangeToExamine

protected abstract edu.washington.cs.knowitall.commonlib.Range rangeToExamine(ChunkedBinaryExtraction cbe)

apply

public boolean apply(ChunkedBinaryExtraction cbe)

Specified by:

apply in interface com.google.common.base.Predicate<ChunkedBinaryExtraction>

testAtIndex

protected abstract boolean testAtIndex(Integer index,
                  ChunkedSentence sentence)

indexOfHeadVerb

public static Integer indexOfHeadVerb(ChunkedExtraction relation,
                      boolean exception)

Implements the following naive algorithm for locating the head verb within a verb phrase:

1. Start at end of phrase.
2. Work backward until you encounter a posTag.startsWith("V");
3. Return the corresponding token.
If exception, throw an IllegalArgumentException if no verb in the relation. If !exception, return null to the client if no verb in the relation.

Parameters:

relation -
