          cc.mallet.classify.RankMaxEntTrainer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Boostable, ClassifierTrainer.ByOptimization<MaxEnt>, java.io.Serializable

public class RankMaxEntTrainer
extends MaxEntTrainer

The trainer for a RankMaxEnt classifier. Expects Instance data to be a FeatureVectorSequence, and the target to be a String representation of the index of the true best FeatureVectorSequence. Note that the Instance target may be a Labels to indicate a tie for the best Instance.

Constructor Detail

RankMaxEntTrainer

public RankMaxEntTrainer()

RankMaxEntTrainer

public RankMaxEntTrainer(double gaussianPriorVariance)

Constructs a trainer with a parameter to avoid overtraining. 1.0 is usually a reasonable default value.

Method Detail

getMaximizableTrainer

public Optimizable.ByGradientValue getMaximizableTrainer(InstanceList ilist)

train

public MaxEnt train(InstanceList trainingSet)

Overrides:

train in class MaxEntTrainer

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Like the other version of trainWithFeatureInduction, but allows some default options to be changed.

Overrides:

toString in class MaxEntTrainer

Parameters:

maxent - An initial partially-trained classifier (default null). This classifier may be modified during training.

gainName - The estimate of gain (log-likelihood increase) we want our chosen features to maximize. Should be one of MaxEntTrainer.EXP_GAIN, MaxEntTrainer.GRADIENT_GAIN, or MaxEntTrainer.INFORMATION_GAIN (default EXP_GAIN).

Returns:

The trained MaxEnt classifier
