Constructor Summary

DefaultWordNetMatcher()

Method Summary

char	getRelation(java.util.Vector<java.lang.String> sourceSenses, java.util.Vector<java.lang.String> targetSenses) Returns semantic relation holding between two sets of senses.
char	getRelationACoL(IAtomicConceptOfLabel source, IAtomicConceptOfLabel target) Retuns semantic relations which hols between two ACoLs.
boolean	isSourceLessGeneralThanTarget(java.lang.String source, java.lang.String target) Checks whether source sence less general than target Currently used version of Java WordNet Interface Library finds more general relationships (hypernymy and holonymy) faster than less general so this method just flip the parameters and call isSourceMoreGeneralThanTarget method
boolean	isSourceMoreGeneralThanTarget(java.lang.String source, java.lang.String target) Checks whether the source is more general than target.
boolean	isSourceOppositeToTarget(java.lang.String source, java.lang.String target) Checks whether the source is disjoint with the target.
boolean	isSourceSynonymTarget(java.lang.String source, java.lang.String target) Checks whether the source is a synonym of the target.

Method Detail

getRelation

public char getRelation(java.util.Vector<java.lang.String> sourceSenses,
                        java.util.Vector<java.lang.String> targetSenses)

Description copied from interface: IWordNetMatcher

Returns semantic relation holding between two sets of senses.

Specified by:

getRelation in interface IWordNetMatcher

Parameters:

sourceSenses - source set of senses

targetSenses - target set of senses

Returns:

a relation

getRelationACoL

public char getRelationACoL(IAtomicConceptOfLabel source,
                            IAtomicConceptOfLabel target)

Description copied from interface: IWordNetMatcher

Retuns semantic relations which hols between two ACoLs.

Specified by:

getRelationACoL in interface IWordNetMatcher

Parameters:

source - source ACoL

target - targe ACoL

Returns:

a relation

isSourceSynonymTarget

public boolean isSourceSynonymTarget(java.lang.String source,
                                     java.lang.String target)

Description copied from interface: IWordNetMatcher

Checks whether the source is a synonym of the target.

Specified by:

isSourceSynonymTarget in interface IWordNetMatcher

Parameters:

source - source synset id

target - target synset id

Returns:

whether relation holds

isSourceOppositeToTarget

public boolean isSourceOppositeToTarget(java.lang.String source,
                                        java.lang.String target)

Description copied from interface: IWordNetMatcher

Checks whether the source is disjoint with the target.

Specified by:

isSourceOppositeToTarget in interface IWordNetMatcher

Parameters:

source - source synset id

isSourceLessGeneralThanTarget

public boolean isSourceLessGeneralThanTarget(java.lang.String source,
                                             java.lang.String target)

Checks whether source sence less general than target Currently used version of Java WordNet Interface Library finds more general relationships (hypernymy and holonymy) faster than less general so this method just flip the parameters and call isSourceMoreGeneralThanTarget method

Description copied from interface: IWordNetMatcher

Checks whether the source is more general than target.

Specified by:

isSourceMoreGeneralThanTarget in interface IWordNetMatcher

Parameters:

source - source synset id

target - target synset id

Returns:

whether relation holds
