Class 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!
