Interfaces for labeling tokens with category labels (or "class labels").
|
||
|
|
||
|
``ClassifierI`` is a standard interface for "single-category
|
||
|
classification", in which the set of categories is known, the number
|
||
|
of categories is finite, and each text belongs to exactly one
|
||
|
category.
|
||
|
|
||
|
``MultiClassifierI`` is a standard interface for "multi-category
|
||
|
classification", which is like single-category classification except
|
||
|
that each text belongs to zero or more categories.
