Method Detail

isReferrer

public boolean isReferrer()

Determines if this feature is a referring feature.

Overrides:

isReferrer in class Feature

Returns:

true iff this feature is a referring feature.

getReferent

public RealFeature getReferent()

Returns the value of referent.

depth

public int depth()

The depth of a feature is one more than the maximum depth of any of its children, or 0 if it has no children.

Overrides:

depth in class Feature

Returns:

The depth of this feature as described above.

getStrength

public double getStrength()

Simply returns the strength of referent.

Specified by:

getStrength in class Feature

removeFromChildLexicon

public void removeFromChildLexicon(ChildLexicon lex)

Takes care of any feature-type-specific tasks that need to be taken care of when removing a feature of this type from a ChildLexicon, in particular updating parent counts and removing children of this feature if necessary.

Overrides:

removeFromChildLexicon in class Feature

Parameters:

lex - The child lexicon this feature is being removed from.

childLexiconLookup

public int childLexiconLookup(ChildLexicon lex,
                              int label)

Does a feature-type-specific lookup of this feature in the given ChildLexicon.

Overrides:

childLexiconLookup in class Feature

Parameters:

lex - The child lexicon this feature is being looked up in.

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

Returns:

The index of f in this lexicon.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

The hash code of a RealReferrer is the sum of the hash codes of the containing package, the identifier, and the referent feature.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Feature

Returns:

The hash code for this feature.

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

Specified by:

compareTo in class Feature

Parameters:

o - An object to compare with.

Returns:

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

write

public void write(StringBuffer buffer)

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

Specified by:

write in class Feature

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer to write to.

writeNoPackage

public void writeNoPackage(StringBuffer buffer)

Writes a string representation of this Feature to the specified buffer, omitting the package name.

Overrides:

writeNoPackage in class Feature

Parameters:

lexWrite

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

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.

p - The assumed package string. This feature's package string won't be written if it's equivalent to p.

g - The assumed classifier name string. This feature's classifier name string won't be written if it's equivalent to g.

si - The assumed identifier as a string. If this feature has a string identifier, it won't be written if it's equivalent to si.

bi - The assumed identifier as a byte string. If this feature has a byte string identifier, it won't be written if it's equivalent to bi.

Returns:

The name of the runtime type of this feature.

lexRead

                    String p,
                    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.

This method is appropriate for reading features as written by lexWrite(ExceptionlessOutputStream,Lexicon,String,String,String,String,ByteString).

Overrides:

lexRead in class Feature

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.
