public interface Dictionary

Interface to provide dictionary information to the coreference module assuming a hierarchically structured dictionary (such as WordNet) is available.

Method Summary

String[]	getLemmas(String word, String pos) Returns the lemmas of the specified word with the specified part-of-speech.
int	getNumSenses(String lemma, String pos) Returns the number of senses in the dictionary for the specified lemma.
String[]	getParentSenseKeys(String lemma, String pos, int senseNumber) Returns an array of keys for each parent of the specified sense number of the specified lemma with the specified part-of-speech.
String	getSenseKey(String lemma, String pos, int senseNumber) Returns a key indicating the specified sense number of the specified lemma with the specified part-of-speech.

Method Detail

getLemmas

String[] getLemmas(String word,
                   String pos)

Returns the lemmas of the specified word with the specified part-of-speech.

Parameters:

word - The word whose lemmas are desired.

pos - The part-of-speech of the specified word.

Returns:

The lemmas of the specified word given the specified part-of-speech.

getSenseKey

String getSenseKey(String lemma,
                   String pos,
                   int senseNumber)

Returns a key indicating the specified sense number of the specified lemma with the specified part-of-speech.

Parameters:

lemma - The lemmas for which the key is desired.

pos - The pos for which the key is desired.

senseNumber - The sense number for which the key is desired.

Returns:

a key indicating the specified sense number of the specified lemma with the specified part-of-speech.

getNumSenses

int getNumSenses(String lemma,
                 String pos)

Returns the number of senses in the dictionary for the specified lemma.

Parameters:

lemma - A lemmatized form of the word to look up.

pos - The part-of-speech for the lemma.

Returns:

the number of senses in the dictionary for the specified lemma.

getParentSenseKeys

String[] getParentSenseKeys(String lemma,
                            String pos,
                            int senseNumber)

Returns an array of keys for each parent of the specified sense number of the specified lemma with the specified part-of-speech.

Parameters:

lemma - A lemmatized form of the word to look up.

pos - The part-of-speech for the lemma.

senseNumber - The sense number for which the parent keys are desired.

Returns:

an array of keys for each parent of the specified sense number of the specified lemma with the specified part-of-speech.
