NAME

Lingua::YALI::Identifier - Module for language identification with custom models.

VERSION

version 0.016

SYNOPSIS

This modul identify languages with moduls provided by the user. If you want to use pretrained models use Lingua::YALI::LanguageIdentifier.

Models trained on texts from specific domain outperforms the general ones.


            

              
              
use Lingua::YALI::Builder;
use Lingua::YALI::Identifier;
# create models
my $builder_a = Lingua::YALI::Builder->new(ngrams=>[2]);
$builder_a->train_string("aaaaa aaaa aaa aaa aaa aaaaa aa");
$builder_a->store("model_a.2_all.gz", 2);
my $builder_b = Lingua::YALI::Builder->new(ngrams=>[2]);
$builder_b->train_string("bbbbbb bbbb bbbb bbb bbbb bbbb bbb");
$builder_b->store("model_b.2_all.gz", 2);
# create identifier and load models
my $identifier = Lingua::YALI::Identifier->new();
$identifier->add_class("a", "model_a.2_all.gz");
$identifier->add_class("b", "model_b.2_all.gz");
# identify strings
my $result1 = $identifier->identify_string("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
print $result1->[0]->[0] . "\t" . $result1->[0]->[1];
# prints out a 1
my $result2 = $identifier->identify_string("bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb");
print $result2->[0]->[0] . "\t" . $result2->[0]->[1];
# prints out b 1

More examples is presented in Lingua::YALI::Examples.

METHODS

BUILD

Initializes internal variables.


            

              
              
# create identifier
my $identifier = Lingua::YALI::Identifier->new();

add_class


            

              
              
$added = $identifier->add_class($class, $model)

Adds model stored in file $model with class $class and returns whether it was added or not.


            

              
              
print $identifier->add_class("a", "model.a1.gz") . "\n";
# prints out 1
print $identifier->add_class("a", "model.a2.gz") . "\n";
# prints out 0 - class a was already added

remove_class


            

              
              
my $removed = $identifier->remove_class($class);

Removes model for class $class.


            

              
              
$identifier->add_class("a", "model.a1.gz");
print $identifier->remove_class("a") . "\n";
# prints out 1
print $identifier->remove_class("a") . "\n";
# prints out 0 - class a was already removed

get_classes


            

              
              
my \@classes = $identifier->get_classes();

Returns all registered classes.

identify_file


            

              
              
my $result = $identifier->identify_file($file)

Identifies class for file $file.

  • It returns undef if $file is undef.

  • It croaks if the file $file does not exist or is not readable.

  • Otherwise look for more details at method "identify_handle".

identify_string


            

              
              
my $result = $identifier->identify_string($string)

Identifies class for string $string.

  • It returns undef if $string is undef.

  • Otherwise look for more details at method "identify_handle".

identify_handle


            

              
              
my $result = $identifier->identify_handle($fh)

Identifies class for file handle $fh and returns:

  • It returns undef if $fh is undef.

  • It croaks if the $fh is not file handle.

  • It returns array reference in format [ ['class1', score1], ['class2', score2], ...] sorted according to score descendently, so the most probable class is the first.
