Class StopWords

Description

A vocabulary that can automatically evaluate a list of Stop-Words.

An entry 'w' is relevant for the speaker if its probability is less than

a threshold:

| P(w) <= 1 / (alpha * V)

where 'alpha' is an empirical coefficient and 'V' is the vocabulary

size of the speaker.

Constructor

Create a new StopWords instance.

Parameters
  • case_sensitive: (bool) Considers the case of entries or not.

    :param case_sensitive: (bool) Considers the case of entries or not.

Public functions

get_alpha

Return the value of alpha coefficient (float).

def get_alpha(self):
    """Return the value of alpha coefficient (float)."""
    return self.__alpha
get_threshold

Return the last estimated threshold (float).

View Source
def get_threshold(self):

get_v

Return the last estimated vocabulary size (int).

set_alpha

Fix the alpha option.

Alpha is a coefficient to add specific stop-words in the list.

Default value is 0.5.

Make a deep copy of the instance.

evaluate

Add entries to the list of stop-words from the content of a tier.

Estimate if a token is relevant: if not it adds it in the stop-list.

Parameters
  • tier: (sppasTier) A tier with entries to be analyzed.
  • merge: (bool) Merge with the existing list (if True) or delete the existing list and create a new one (if False)
Returns
  • (int) Number of entries added into the list
