canRun

protected static boolean canRun()

loadModels

public LanguageDetector loadModels()
                            throws IOException

Description copied from class: LanguageDetector

Load (or re-load) all available language models. This must be called after any settings that would impact the models being loaded (e.g. mixed language/short text), but before any of the document processing routines (below) are called. Note that it only needs to be called once.

Specified by:

loadModels in class LanguageDetector

Returns:

this

Throws:

IOException

loadModels

public LanguageDetector loadModels(Set<String> set)
                            throws IOException

Description copied from class: LanguageDetector

Load (or re-load) the models specified in . These use the ISO 639-1 names, with an optional "-" for more specific specification (e.g. "zh-CN" for Chinese in China).

Specified by:

loadModels in class LanguageDetector

Parameters:

set - list of target languages.

Returns:

this

Throws:

IOException

hasModel

public boolean hasModel(String language)

Description copied from class: LanguageDetector

Provide information about whether a model exists for a specific language.

Specified by:

hasModel in class LanguageDetector

Parameters:

language - ISO 639-1 name for language

Returns:

true if a model for this language exists.

setPriors

public LanguageDetector setPriors(Map<String,Float> languageProbabilities)
                           throws IOException

Description copied from class: LanguageDetector

Set the a-priori probabilities for these languages. The provided map uses the language as the key, and the probability (0.0 > probability < 1.0) of text being in that language. Note that if the probabilities don't sum to 1.0, these values will be normalized.

If hasModel() returns false for any of the languages, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Use of these probabilities is detector-specific, and thus might not impact the results at all. As such, these should be viewed as a hint.

Specified by:

setPriors in class LanguageDetector

Parameters:

languageProbabilities - Map from language to probability

Returns:

this

Throws:

IOException

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from class: LanguageDetector

Reset statistics about the current document being processed

Specified by:

reset in class LanguageDetector

addText

public void addText(char[] cbuf,
                    int off,
                    int len)

Description copied from class: LanguageDetector

Add statistics about this text for the current document. Note that we assume an implicit word break exists before/after each of these runs of text.

Specified by:

addText in class LanguageDetector

Parameters:

cbuf - Character buffer

off - Offset into cbuf to first character in the run of text

len - Number of characters in the run of text.

detectAll

public List<LanguageResult> detectAll()

Description copied from class: LanguageDetector

Detect languages based on previously submitted text (via addText calls).

Specified by:

detectAll in class LanguageDetector

Returns:

list of all possible languages with at least medium confidence, sorted by confidence from highest to lowest. There will always be at least one result, which might have a confidence of NONE.
