Class MultiClassifierI

object --+
         |
        MultiClassifierI

A processing interface for labeling tokens with zero or more category labels (or labels). Labels are typically strings or integers, but can be any immutable type. The set of labels that the multi-classifier chooses from must be fixed and finite.

Subclasses must define:

labels()
either classify() or batch_classify() (or both)

Subclasses may define:

either prob_classify() or batch_prob_classify() (or both)

set of label

classify(self, featureset)
Returns: the most appropriate set of labels for the given featureset.

ProbDistI

prob_classify(self, featureset)
Returns: a probability distribution over sets of labels for the given featureset.

source code

list of (set of label)

batch_classify(self, featuresets)

classify(self, featureset)

source code

Returns: set of label: the most appropriate set of labels for the given featureset.

prob_classify(self, featureset)

source code
