Constructor Detail

RegexpTagger

public RegexpTagger()

Create a suffix tagger.

Method Detail

usesLexicalRules

public boolean usesLexicalRules()

See if tagger uses lexical rules.

Specified by:

usesLexicalRules in interface PartOfSpeechTagger

Overrides:

usesLexicalRules in class AbstractPartOfSpeechTagger

Returns:

True since this tagger uses regular expression based lexical rules.

setLexicalRules

public void setLexicalRules(java.lang.String[] lexicalRules)
                     throws InvalidRuleException

Set lexical rules for tagging.

Specified by:

setLexicalRules in interface PartOfSpeechTagger

Overrides:

setLexicalRules in class AbstractPartOfSpeechTagger

Parameters:

lexicalRules - String array of lexical rules.

Throws:

InvalidRuleException - if a rule is bad.

For the regular expression tagger, each rule takes the form:

regular-expression \t part-of-speech-tag

where "regular expression" is the regular expression and "part-of-speech-tag" is the part of speech tag to assign to a spelling matched by the regular expression. An ascii tab character (\t) separates the pattern from the tag.

tagWord

public java.lang.String tagWord(java.lang.String word)

Tag a single word.

Specified by:

tagWord in interface CanTagOneWord

Overrides:

tagWord in class UnigramTagger

Parameters:

word - The word.

Returns:

The part of speech for the word.

Applies each of the regular expressions stored in the lexical rules lexicon and returns the tag of associated with the first matching regular expression.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class UnigramTagger

Returns:

Tagger description.
