Class PortugueseContractionUtility
java.lang.Object
opennlp.tools.formats.ad.PortugueseContractionUtility
public class PortugueseContractionUtility
- extends Object
Utility class to handle Portuguese contractions.
Some Corpora splits contractions in its parts, for example, "da" > "de" +
"a", but according to the fase of language processing, NER for instance, we
can't decide if to split a contraction or not, specially because contractions
inside names are not separated, but outside are.
Note: Do not use this class, internal use only!
