edu.ucla.sspace.evaluation.OnePairPerLinePrimingTest

All Implemented Interfaces:

WordPrimingTest

public class OnePairPerLinePrimingTest
extends AbstractWordPrimingTest

A simple WordPrimingTest that extracts priming pairs from a text file. This text file should have one line for each priming pair where the first the two words are separated by white space. The first word is the priming cue. The second word is the priming target. This class computes priming strength by using the cosine similarity between semantic vectors.

Constructor Detail

OnePairPerLinePrimingTest

public OnePairPerLinePrimingTest(String testPairFileName)

Creates a new OnePairPerLinePrimingTest from a string containing a file name.

OnePairPerLinePrimingTest

public OnePairPerLinePrimingTest(File testPairFile)

Creates a new OnePairPerLinePrimingTest from a File.

Method Detail

prepareRelationMap

public static Set<Pair<String>> prepareRelationMap(File testPairFile)

Returns a set of prime, target word pairs that are extracted from a text file.

computePriming

protected Double computePriming(SemanticSpace sspace,
                    String word1,
                    String word2)

Returns the association of the two words on a scale of 0 to 1. Subclasses should override this method to provide specific ways of determining the association of two words in the semantic space, but should ensure that the return value falls with the predefined scale.

Specified by:

computePriming in class AbstractWordPrimingTest

Returns:

the assocation between word1 and word2

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
