Class TokenizerFactory

java.lang.Object

opennlp.tools.util.BaseToolFactory

opennlp.tools.tokenize.TokenizerFactory

public class TokenizerFactory
extends BaseToolFactory

The factory that provides Tokenizer default implementations and resources. Users can extend this class if their application requires overriding the TokenContextGenerator, Dictionary etc.

Constructor Detail

TokenizerFactory

public TokenizerFactory()

Creates a TokenizerFactory that provides the default implementation of the resources.

TokenizerFactory

public TokenizerFactory(String languageCode,
                        Dictionary abbreviationDictionary,
                        boolean useAlphaNumericOptimization,
                        Pattern alphaNumericPattern)

Creates a TokenizerFactory. Use this constructor to programmatically create a factory.

Parameters:

languageCode - the language of the natural text

abbreviationDictionary - an abbreviations dictionary

useAlphaNumericOptimization - if true alpha numerics are skipped

alphaNumericPattern - null or a custom alphanumeric pattern (default is: "^[A-Za-z0-9]+$", provided by Factory.DEFAULT_ALPHANUMERIC

Method Detail

validateArtifactMap

public void validateArtifactMap()
                         throws InvalidFormatException

Description copied from class: BaseToolFactory

Validates the parsed artifacts. If something is not valid subclasses should throw an InvalidFormatException. Note: Subclasses should generally invoke super.validateArtifactMap at the beginning of this method.

Specified by:

validateArtifactMap in class BaseToolFactory

Throws:

InvalidFormatException

createArtifactMap

public Map<String,Object> createArtifactMap()

Description copied from class: BaseToolFactory

Creates a Map with pairs of keys and objects. The models implementation should call this constructor that creates a model programmatically.

The base implementation will return a HashMap that should be populated by sub-classes.

Overrides:

createArtifactMap in class BaseToolFactory

createManifestEntries

public Map<String,String> createManifestEntries()

Description copied from class: BaseToolFactory

Creates the manifest entries that will be added to the model manifest

Overrides:

createManifestEntries in class BaseToolFactory

Returns:

the manifest entries to added to the model manifest

create

public static TokenizerFactory create(String subclassName,
                                      String languageCode,
                                      Dictionary abbreviationDictionary,
                                      boolean useAlphaNumericOptimization,
                                      Pattern alphaNumericPattern)
                               throws InvalidFormatException

Factory method the framework uses create a new TokenizerFactory.

Parameters:

subclassName - the name of the class implementing the TokenizerFactory

languageCode - the language code the tokenizer should use

abbreviationDictionary - an optional dictionary containing abbreviations, or null if not present

useAlphaNumericOptimization - indicate if the alpha numeric optimization should be enabled or disabled

alphaNumericPattern - the pattern the alpha numeric optimization should use

Returns:

the instance of the Tokenizer Factory

Throws:

InvalidFormatException - if once of the input parameters doesn't comply if the expected format

getAlphaNumericPattern

public Pattern getAlphaNumericPattern()

Gets the alpha numeric pattern.

Returns:

the user specified alpha numeric pattern or a default.

isUseAlphaNumericOptmization

public boolean isUseAlphaNumericOptmization()

Gets whether to use alphanumeric optimization.

Returns:

true if the alpha numeric optimization is enabled, otherwise false

getAbbreviationDictionary

public Dictionary getAbbreviationDictionary()

Gets the abbreviation dictionary

Returns:

null or the abbreviation dictionary

getLanguageCode

public String getLanguageCode()

Retrieves the language code.

Returns:

the language code

getContextGenerator

public TokenContextGenerator getContextGenerator()

Gets the context generator

Returns:

a new instance of the context generator
