Constructor Detail

Parser

Create a new Parser instance. This will usually be followed by a call to setFilename(). This constructor takes no parameters so that the class can be loaded and instantiated dynamically (as a plugin) by MakeProbabilityModel etc.

Method Detail

setFilename

public void setFilename(java.lang.String fn)

getParsedCorpus

public ParsedCorpus getParsedCorpus()

Get parsed corpus, parsing filename if necessary

parse
