NGramTokenizer

public NGramTokenizer(int minNGramSize,

Method Detail

tokenize

public Token[] tokenize(String input)

Return tokenized version of a string. Tokens are all character n-grams that are part of a token produced by the inner tokenizer.

Specified by:

tokenize in interface Tokenizer

intern

public Token intern(String s)

Description copied from interface: Tokenizer

Convert a given string into a token. The intern function should have these properties: (1) If s1.equals(s2), then intern(s1)==intern(s2). (2) If no string equal to s1 has ever been interned before, then intern(s1).getIndex() will be larger than every previously-assigned index--i.e, token 'indexes' are assigned in increasing order.

Specified by:

intern in interface Tokenizer

tokenIterator

public Iterator tokenIterator()

Description copied from interface: Tokenizer

Return an iterator over interned tokens

Specified by:

tokenIterator in interface Tokenizer

maxTokenIndex

public int maxTokenIndex()

Description copied from interface: Tokenizer

Return the higest index of any interned token

Specified by:

maxTokenIndex in interface Tokenizer

main

public static void main(String[] argv)

Test routine
