/**
* The ObjectBank class is designed to make it easy to change the format/source
* of data read in by other classes and to standardize how data is read in
* javaNLP classes.
* This should make reuse of existing code (by non-authors of the code)
* easier because one has to just create a new ObjectBank which knows where to
* look for the data and how to turn it into Objects, and then use the new
* ObjectBank in the class. This will also make it easier to reuse code for
* reading in the same data.
*
* An ObjectBank is a Collection of Objects. These objects are taken
* from input sources and then tokenized and parsed into the desired
* kind of Object. An ObjectBank requires a ReaderIteratorFactory and a
* IteratorFromReaderFactory. The ReaderIteratorFactory is used to get
* an Iterator over java.util.Readers which contain representations of
* the Objects. A ReaderIteratorFactory resembles a collection that
* takes input sources and dispenses Iterators over java.util.Readers
* of those sources. A IteratorFromReaderFactory is used to turn a single
* java.io.Reader into an Iterator over Objects. The
* IteratorFromReaderFactory splits the contents of the java.util.Reader
* into Strings and then parses them into appropriate Objects.
*
*
* Example Usages:
*
* The general case is covered below, but the most common thing people
* actually want to do is read lines from a file. There are special
* methods to make this easy! You use the getLineIterator method.
* In its simplest use, it returns an ObjectBank<String>, which is a subclass of
* Collection<String>. So, statements like these work:
*
*
* for (String str : ObjectBank.getLineIterator(filename) {
* System.out.println(str);
* }
* String[] strings = ObjectBank.getLineIterator(filename).toArray(new String[0]);
* String[] strings = ObjectBank.getLineIterator(filename, "GB18030").toArray(new String[0]);
*
*
* More complex uses of getLineIterator let you interpret each line of a file
* as an object of arbitrary type via a transformer Function.
*
* For more general uses with existing classes, you first construct a collection of sources, then a class that
* will make the objects of interest from instances of those sources, and then set up an ObjectBank that can
* vend those objects:
*
* ReaderIteratorFactory rif = new ReaderIteratorFactory(Arrays.asList(new String[] { "file1", "file2", "file3" }));
* IteratorFromReaderFactory corefIFRF = new MUCCorefIteratorFromReaderFactory(true);
* for (Mention m : new ObjectBank(rif, corefIFRF)) {
* ...
* }
*
*
* As an example of the general power of this class, suppose you have
* a collection of files in the directory /u/nlp/data/gre/questions. Each file
* contains several Puzzle documents which look like:
*
* <puzzle>
* <preamble> some text </preamble>
* <question> some intro text
* <answer> answer1 </answer>
* <answer> answer2 </answer>
* <answer> answer3 </answer>
* <answer> answer4 </answer>
* </question>
* <question> another question
* <answer> answer1 </answer>
* <answer> answer2 </answer>
* <answer> answer3 </answer>
* <answer> answer4 </answer>
* </question>
* </puzzle>
*
*
* First you need to build a ReaderIteratorFactory which will provide java.io.Readers
* over all the files in your directory:
*
*
* Collection c = new FileSequentialCollection("/u/nlp/data/gre/questions/", "", false);
* ReaderIteratorFactory rif = new ReaderIteratorFactory(c);
*
*
* Next you need to make an IteratorFromReaderFactory which will take the
* java.io.Readers vended by the ReaderIteratorFactory, split them up into
* documents (Strings) and
* then convert the Strings into Objects. In this case we want to keep everything
* between each set of <puzzle> </puzzle> tags so we would use a BeginEndTokenizerFactory.
* You would also need to write a class which extends Function and whose apply method
* converts the String between the <puzzle> </puzzle> tags into Puzzle objects.
*
*
* public class PuzzleParser implements Function {
* public Object apply (Object o) {
* String s = (String)o;
* ...
* Puzzle p = new Puzzle(...);
* ...
* return p;
* }
* }
*
*
* Now to build the IteratorFromReaderFactory:
*
*
* IteratorFromReaderFactory rtif = new BeginEndTokenizerFactory("", " ", new PuzzleParser());
*
*
* Now, to create your ObjectBank you just give it the ReaderIteratorFactory and
* IteratorFromReaderFactory that you just created:
*
*
* ObjectBank puzzles = new ObjectBank(rif, rtif);
*
*
* Now, if you get a new set of puzzles that are located elsewhere and formatted differently
* you create a new ObjectBank for reading them in and use that ObjectBank instead with only
* trivial changes (or possible none at all if the ObjectBank is read in on a constructor)
* to your code. Or even better, if someone else wants to use your code to evaluate their puzzles,
* which are located elsewhere and formatted differently, they already know what they have to do
* to make your code work for them.
