    public final class ShingleFilter

extends TokenFilter

A ShingleFilter constructs shingles (token n-grams) from a token stream. In other words, it creates combinations of tokens as a single token.

For example, the sentence "please divide this sentence into shingles" might be tokenized into shingles "please divide", "divide this", "this sentence", "sentence into", and "into shingles".

This filter handles position increments > 1 by inserting filler tokens (tokens with termtext "_"). It does not handle a position increment of 0.

Constructor Detail

### ShingleFilter

    public ShingleFilter(TokenStream input,
                         int minShingleSize,
                         int maxShingleSize)

  Constructs a ShingleFilter with the specified shingle size from the `TokenStream` `input`

  Parameters:
    `input` - input stream
    `minShingleSize` - minimum shingle size produced by the filter.
    `maxShingleSize` - maximum shingle size produced by the filter.

### ShingleFilter

    public ShingleFilter(TokenStream input,
                         int maxShingleSize)

  Constructs a ShingleFilter with the specified shingle size from the `TokenStream` `input`

  Parameters:
    `input` - input stream
    `maxShingleSize` - maximum shingle size produced by the filter.

### ShingleFilter

    public ShingleFilter(TokenStream input)

  Construct a ShingleFilter with default shingle size: 2.

  Parameters:
    `input` - input stream

### ShingleFilter

    public ShingleFilter(TokenStream input,
                         String tokenType)

  Construct a ShingleFilter with the specified token type for shingle tokens and the default shingle size: 2

  Parameters:
    `input` - input stream
    `tokenType` - token type for shingle tokens

Method Detail

### setTokenType

    public void setTokenType(String tokenType)

  Set the type of the shingle tokens produced by this filter. (default: "shingle")

  Parameters:
    `tokenType` - token tokenType

### setOutputUnigrams

    public void setOutputUnigrams(boolean outputUnigrams)

  Shall the output stream contain the input tokens (unigrams) as well as shingles? (default: true.)

  Parameters:
    `outputUnigrams` - Whether or not the output stream shall contain the input tokens (unigrams)

### setOutputUnigramsIfNoShingles

    public void setOutputUnigramsIfNoShingles(boolean outputUnigramsIfNoShingles)

  Shall we override the behavior of outputUnigrams==false for those times when no shingles are available (because there are fewer than minShingleSize tokens in the input stream)? (default: false.)

  Note that if outputUnigrams==true, then unigrams are always output, regardless of whether any shingles are available.

  Parameters:
    `outputUnigramsIfNoShingles` - Whether or not to output a single unigram when no shingles are available.

### setMaxShingleSize

    public void setMaxShingleSize(int maxShingleSize)

  Set the max shingle size (default: 2)

  Parameters:
    `maxShingleSize` - max size of output shingles

### setMinShingleSize

    public void setMinShingleSize(int minShingleSize)

  Set the min shingle size (default: 2).

  This method requires that the passed in minShingleSize is not greater than maxShingleSize, so make sure that maxShingleSize is set before calling this method.

  The unigram output option is independent of the min shingle size.

  Parameters:
    `minShingleSize` - min size of output shingles

### setTokenSeparator

    public void setTokenSeparator(String tokenSeparator)

  Sets the string to use when joining adjacent tokens to form a shingle

  Parameters:
    `tokenSeparator` - used to separate input stream tokens in output shingles

### incrementToken

    public final boolean incrementToken()
                                 throws IOException

  Specified by:
    `incrementToken` in class `TokenStream`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### reset

    public void reset()
               throws IOException

  Overrides:
    `reset` in class `TokenFilter`
  Throws:
    `IOException`
