Constructor Detail

DictionaryLookup

public DictionaryLookup(Dictionary dictionary)
                 throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new object of this class using the given FSA for word lookups and encoding for converting characters to bytes.

Parameters:

dictionary - The dictionary to use for lookups.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if FSA's root node cannot be acquired (dictionary is empty).

Method Detail

lookup

public java.util.List<WordData> lookup(java.lang.CharSequence word)

Searches the automaton for a symbol sequence equal to word, followed by a separator. The result is a stem (decompressed accordingly to the dictionary's specification) and an optional tag data.

Specified by:

lookup in interface IStemmer

Parameters:

word - The word (typically inflected) to look up base forms for.

Returns:

A list of WordData entries (possibly empty).

applyReplacements

public static java.lang.String applyReplacements(java.lang.CharSequence word,
                                 java.util.LinkedHashMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> replacements)

Apply partial string replacements from a given map. Useful if the word needs to be normalized somehow (i.e., ligatures, apostrophes and such).

Parameters:

word - The word to apply replacements to.

replacements - A map of replacements (from->to).

Returns:

Returns a new string with all replacements applied.

iterator

public java.util.Iterator<WordData> iterator()

Return an iterator over all WordData entries available in the embedded Dictionary.

Specified by:

iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<WordData>

getDictionary

public Dictionary getDictionary()

Returns:

Return the Dictionary used by this object.

getSeparatorChar

public char getSeparatorChar()

Returns:

Returns the logical separator character splitting inflected form, lemma correction token and a tag. Note that this character is a best-effort conversion from a byte in DictionaryMetadata.separator and may not be valid in the target encoding (although this is highly unlikely).
