RealArrayFeature

public RealArrayFeature(String p,
                        String c,

Sets all member variables.

Parameters:

p - The new real feature's package.

c - The name of the classifier that produced this feature.

id - The new real feature's identifier.

v - The new real feature's value.

Method Detail

fromArray

public boolean fromArray()

Determines if this feature comes from an array.

Overrides:

fromArray in class Feature

Returns:

true.

getFeatureKey

public Feature getFeatureKey(Lexicon lexicon,
                             boolean training,
                             int label)

Return the feature that should be used to index this feature into a lexicon. Specifically, we return this feature with a value of 0 so that the same features with different real values will map to the same object.

Overrides:

getFeatureKey in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Parameters:

lexicon - The lexicon into which this feature will be indexed.

training - Whether or not the learner is currently training.

label - The label of the example containing this feature, or -1 if we aren't doing per class feature counting.

Returns:

A feature object appropriate for use as the key of a map.

setArrayLength

public void setArrayLength(int l)

If this feature is an array feature, call this method to set its array length; otherwise, this method has no effect.

Overrides:

setArrayLength in class Feature

Parameters:

l - The new length.

getArrayIndex

public int getArrayIndex()

Returns the array index of this feature.

getArrayLength

public int getArrayLength()

Returns the length of the feature array that this feature comes from.

multiply

public RealFeature multiply(double m)

Returns a new feature object, the same as this one in all respects except the RealPrimitiveFeature.value field has been multiplied by the specified number.

Overrides:

multiply in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Parameters:

m - The multiplier.

Returns:

A new real feature whose value is the product of this feature's value and the specified multiplier.

withStrength

public Feature withStrength(double s)

Returns a new feature object that's identical to this feature except its strength is given by s.

Overrides:

withStrength in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Parameters:

s - The strength of the new feature.

Returns:

A new feature object as above, or null if this feature cannot take the specified strength.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

The hash code of a RealArrayFeature is the sum of the hash codes of the containing package, the identifier, the value, and the array index.

Overrides:

hashCode in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Returns:

The hash code for this Feature.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Two RealArrayFeatures are equivalent when their containing packages, identifiers, indices, and values are equivalent.

Overrides:

equals in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Parameters:

o - The object with which to compare this Feature.

Returns:

True iff the parameter is an equivalent Feature.

classEquivalent

public boolean classEquivalent(Feature f)

Some features are functionally equivalent, differing only in the encoding of their values; this method will return true iff the class of this feature and f are different, but they differ only because they encode their values differently. This method does not compare the values themselves, however.

Overrides:

classEquivalent in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Parameters:

f - Another feature.

Returns:

See above.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)

Used to sort features into an order that is convenient both to page through and for the lexicon to read off disk.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable

Overrides:

compareTo in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Parameters:

o - An object to compare with.

Returns:

Integers appropriate for sorting features first by package, then by identifier, then by array index, then by value.

write

public void write(StringBuffer buffer)

Writes a string representation of this Feature to the specified buffer.

Overrides:

write in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer to write to.

write

public void write(edu.illinois.cs.cogcomp.core.datastructures.vectors.ExceptionlessOutputStream out)

Writes a complete binary representation of the feature.

Overrides:

write in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Parameters:

out - The output stream.

read

public void read(edu.illinois.cs.cogcomp.core.datastructures.vectors.ExceptionlessInputStream in)

Reads the representation of a feaeture with this object's run-time type from the given stream, overwriting the data in this object.

Overrides:

read in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Parameters:

in - The input stream.

lexWrite

public String lexWrite(edu.illinois.cs.cogcomp.core.datastructures.vectors.ExceptionlessOutputStream out,

                       String si,
                       ByteString bi)

Overrides:

lexWrite in class RealPrimitiveFeature

Parameters:

out - The output stream.

lex - The lexicon out of which this feature is being written.

c - The fully qualified name of the assumed class. The runtime class of this feature won't be written if it's equivalent to c.

Returns:

The name of the runtime type of this feature.

                    String g,
                    String si,
                    ByteString bi)

Reads the representation of a feature with this object's run-time type as stored by a lexicon, overwriting the data in this object.

Overrides:

Parameters:

in - The input stream.

lex - The lexicon we are reading in to.

p - The assumed package string. If no package name is given in the input stream, the instantiated feature is given this package.

g - The assumed classifier name string. If no classifier name is given in the input stream, the instantiated feature is given this classifier name.

si - The assumed identifier as a string. If the feature being read has a string identifier field and no identifier is given in the input stream, the feature is given this identifier.

bi - The assumed identifier as a byte string. If the feature being read has a byte string identifier field and no identifier is given in the input stream, the feature is given this identifier.
