Interface DocumentReaderAndWriter<IN extends CoreMap>

All Superinterfaces:

IteratorFromReaderFactory<java.util.List<IN>>, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ColumnDocumentReaderAndWriter, CoNLLDocumentReaderAndWriter, PlainTextDocumentReaderAndWriter

public interface DocumentReaderAndWriter<IN extends CoreMap>
extends IteratorFromReaderFactory<java.util.List<IN>>, java.io.Serializable

This interface is used for reading data and writing output into and out of SequenceClassifiers. If you subclass this interface, all of the other mechanisms necessary for getting your data into a SequenceClassifier will be taken care of for you. Subclasses MUST have an empty constructor as they can be instantiated by reflection, and there is a promise that the init method will be called immediately after construction.

Method Detail

init

void init(SeqClassifierFlags flags)

This will be called immediately after construction. It's easier having an init() method because DocumentReaderAndWriter objects are usually created using reflection.

Parameters:

flags - Flags specifying behavior

printAnswers

void printAnswers(java.util.List<IN> doc,
                java.io.PrintWriter out)

This method prints the output of the classifier to a PrintWriter.

Parameters:

doc - The document which has answers (it has been classified)

out - Where to send the output
