Method Details

create

public static LanguageDetectorBuilder create(@NotNull
 @NotNull NgramExtractor ngramExtractor)

alpha

public LanguageDetectorBuilder alpha(double alpha)

seed

public LanguageDetectorBuilder seed(long seed)

seed

public LanguageDetectorBuilder seed(@NotNull
 @NotNull com.google.common.base.Optional<Long> seed)

shortTextAlgorithm

public LanguageDetectorBuilder shortTextAlgorithm(int shortTextAlgorithm)

Defaults to 0, which means don't use this feature. That's the old behavior.

affixFactor

public LanguageDetectorBuilder affixFactor(double affixFactor)

Sets prefixFactor() and suffixFactor() both to the given value.

See Also:

• prefixFactor(double)

prefixFactor

public LanguageDetectorBuilder prefixFactor(double prefixFactor)

To weight n-grams that are on the left border of a word differently from n-grams in the middle of words, assign a value here. Affixes (prefixes and suffixes) often distinguish the specific features of languages. Giving a value greater than 1.0 weights these n-grams higher. A 2.0 weights them double. Defaults to 1.0, which means don't use this feature.

Parameters:

prefixFactor - 0.0 to 10.0, a suggested value is 1.5

suffixFactor

public LanguageDetectorBuilder suffixFactor(double suffixFactor)

Defaults to 1.0, which means don't use this feature.

Parameters:

suffixFactor - 0.0 to 10.0, a suggested value is 2.0

See Also:

• prefixFactor(double)

probabilityThreshold

public LanguageDetectorBuilder probabilityThreshold(double probabilityThreshold)

LanguageDetector.getProbabilities(CharSequence) does not return languages with less probability than this. The default currently is 0.1 (the old hardcoded value), but don't rely on it, if you need to be sure then set one.

minimalConfidence

public LanguageDetectorBuilder minimalConfidence(double minimalConfidence)

LanguageDetector.detect(CharSequence) returns a language if the best detected language has at least this probability. The default currently is 0.9999d, but don't rely on it, if you need to be sure then set one.

languagePriorities

public LanguageDetectorBuilder languagePriorities(@Nullable
 @Nullable Map<LdLocale,Double> langWeightingMap)

TODO document exactly. Also explain how it influences the results. Maybe check for unsupported languages at some point, or not, but document whether it does throw or ignore. String key = language, Double value = priority (probably 0-1).

withProfile

public LanguageDetectorBuilder withProfile(LanguageProfile languageProfile)
                                    throws IllegalStateException

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if a profile for the same language was added already (must be a userland bug).

withProfiles

public LanguageDetectorBuilder withProfiles(Iterable<LanguageProfile> languageProfiles)
                                     throws IllegalStateException

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if a profile for the same language was added already (must be a userland bug).

build

public LanguageDetector build()
                       throws IllegalStateException

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if no LanguageProfile was added.
