Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	copy(TextMatch m)
void	defaultMatchId()	If called, this overwrites existing match_id Match ID is typically entity label @ offset.
java.lang.String	getMatchId()	Future planning -- match_id may become private field in future API.

java.lang.String	getType()
boolean	isDefault()	Users of this class should set a non-default type via setType(String), otherwise the match remains default and generic.
boolean	isFilteredOut()
boolean	isSame(java.lang.String m)	Case-insensitive comparison to another string
boolean	isSameNorm(TextMatch m)	Compare the normalized string for this match to that of another.
void	setFilteredOut(boolean b)

TextMatch

public TextMatch(int x1,
                 int x2)

Method Detail

getType

public java.lang.String getType()

setType

public void setType(java.lang.String t)

Allow matchers and taggers to set a type label, e.g., pattern family or other string.

Parameters:

t - type

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class TextEntity

Returns:

string representation

copy

public void copy(TextMatch m)

Parameters:

m - a text match to copy to this instance

isSame

public boolean isSame(java.lang.String m)

Case-insensitive comparison to another string

Parameters:

m - match

Returns:

trut if

isSameNorm

public boolean isSameNorm(TextMatch m)

Compare the normalized string for this match to that of another.

Parameters:

m -

Returns:

true if getTextnorm()s yield same string.

isFilteredOut

public boolean isFilteredOut()

setFilteredOut

public void setFilteredOut(boolean b)

getTextnorm

public java.lang.String getTextnorm()

Get a normalized version of the text, lower case, punctuation and diacritics removed. If you want only pieces of this normalization, you may override it.

Returns:

normalized version of text.

isDefault

public boolean isDefault()

Users of this class should set a non-default type via setType(String), otherwise the match remains default and generic.

Returns:

defaultMatchId

public void defaultMatchId()

If called, this overwrites existing match_id Match ID is typically entity label @ offset. Alternatively a Match ID could be also label + offset + value + ... to distinguish this text span from others.

getMatchId

public java.lang.String getMatchId()

Future planning -- match_id may become private field in future API.

Returns:
