public class WekaMultinomialNB
extends Classifier

The WekaMultinomialNB class is a Multinomial Naive Bayes (MNB) classifier.

The core implementation of this general-purpose MNB is based on Weka's implementation of the NaiveBayesMultinomial class, which works with continuous features. The same term weighting schemes as the ones used in the ARN-R are considered.

Constructor Detail

WekaMultinomialNB

public WekaMultinomialNB()

Main constructor of this Multinomial Naive Bayes classifier.

Method Detail

getCategory

public java.lang.String getCategory(FeatureBox inputFeatures)

Description copied from class: Classifier

The function that decides the most appropriate emotional category. This is required for any classifier. The classifier in question has to previously run any training algorithm in order to provide the required prediction.

Specified by:

getCategory in class Classifier

Parameters:

inputFeatures - The input emotional features.

Returns:

The most appropriate emotional category.

trainingProcedure

public void trainingProcedure()

Description copied from class: Classifier

Generic training procedure. It trains the classifier in question with the input training examples.

Specified by:

trainingProcedure in class Classifier

setTermWeighingMeasure

public void setTermWeighingMeasure(java.lang.String twm)

Method to set the TW method.

Parameters:

twm - The TW method.

setCOF

public void setCOF(boolean cof)

Method to consider bigram frequencies.

Parameters:

cof - The COF flag.

setMI

public void setMI(boolean mi,
                  int numF)

Set the Mutual Information feature selection.

Parameters:

mi - The Mutual Information flag.

numF - The number of relevant features desired.

setChi2

public void setChi2(boolean chi,
                    int numF)

Set the Chi square feature selection.

Parameters:

chi - The Chi2 flag.

numF - The number of relevant features desired.

setTF

public void setTF(boolean tf,
                  int numF)

Set the Term Frequency feature selection.

Parameters:

tf - The Term Frequency flag.

numF - The number of relevant features desired.

setPOS

public void setPOS(boolean pos)

Method to consider POS tags.

Parameters:

pos - The POS flag.

setStemming

public void setStemming(boolean stems)

Method to consider stems.

Parameters:

stems - The stemming flag.

setIntercept

public void setIntercept(boolean intercept)

Method to consider the intercept feature.

Parameters:

intercept - The intercept flag.

setSynonyms

public void setSynonyms(boolean syns)

Method to consider synonyms.

Parameters:

syns - The synonyms flag.

setEmotionDims

public void setEmotionDims(boolean emodims)

Method to consider emotion dimensions.

Parameters:

emodims - The emotion dimensions flag.

setNegation

public void setNegation(boolean neg)

Method to consider negations.

Parameters:

neg - The negation flag.

save

public void save(java.lang.String path)

Description copied from class: Classifier

Generic method to save the fully fledged classifier into a given file path. It is recommended to use a plain text file (such as XML) to save the classifier's configuration since it's readable directly.

Specified by:

save in class Classifier

Parameters:

path - The file path to save the classifier.

load

public void load(java.lang.String path)

Description copied from class: Classifier

Generic function to load a previously saved classifier. This function should be consistent with the design followed in the saving procedure.

Specified by:

load in class Classifier

Parameters:

path - The path of the file which contains the previously saved classifier.

resetExamples

public void resetExamples()

Description copied from class: Classifier

Method to reset the classifier and flush the training examples. This method only makes sense if the classifier in question is trainable and already has some training examples.

Overrides:

resetExamples in class Classifier

simpleClassification

public void simpleClassification()

Functionality test.
