Projection

public Projection(Operator operator,
                  Operator subspace,
                  boolean orthogonal)

Method Detail

isOrthogonal

public boolean isOrthogonal()

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

compute

public WeightedVectorSet compute(boolean needsSum,
                                 bpiwowar.log.TaskTimer timer)
                          throws Throwable

Description copied from interface: Operator

Computes the density. The object will be first initialised with Operator.init(Informations)

Specified by:

compute in interface Operator

Parameters:

needsSum - If the sum of vectors is needed

timer - A timer to give information about the task progress

Returns:

A density with the sum

Throws:

Throwable - if something goes wrong

simplify

public Operator simplify()

Description copied from interface: Operator

Simplify this operator (calls simplify recursively). The object should be initialised with Operator.init(Informations)

Specified by:

simplify in interface Operator

isNull

public boolean isNull()

Description copied from interface: Operator

Returns true if the density is null (e.g., stopped term). The object should have been initialised before with Operator.init(Informations)

Specified by:

isNull in interface Operator

init

public void init(Informations informations)

Description copied from interface: Operator

Initialise this operator so as to prepare computation

Specified by:

init in interface Operator

addTerms

public void addTerms(Set<String> set)

Description copied from interface: Operator

Add the terms

Specified by:

addTerms in interface Operator

Parameters:

set - The set of terms

addINSamplingQueries

public void addINSamplingQueries(Set<String> set)

Description copied from interface: Operator

Add the queries that will be used to compute base densities. The syntax of the queries can be found in in the MG4J API.

Specified by:

addINSamplingQueries in interface Operator

Parameters:

set - The base queries should be added to this set

getSubOperators

public Iterable<Operator> getSubOperators()

Description copied from interface: Operator

Get all the suboperators (used to process recursively all the nodes of a query). No special order is expected between nodes.

Specified by:

getSubOperators in interface Operator

applyToSuboperators

public void applyToSuboperators(OperatorTransformer transformer)

Description copied from interface: Operator

Apply the transformation to all sub-operators

Specified by:

applyToSuboperators in interface Operator

setOperator

public void setOperator(Operator operator)

Parameters:

operator - the operator to set

getOperator

public Operator getOperator()

Returns:

the operator

setSubspace

public void setSubspace(Operator subspace)

Parameters:

subspace - the subspace to set

getSubspace

public Operator getSubspace()

Returns:

the subspace

copy

public Operator copy()

Description copied from interface: Operator

Deep copy of this operator

Specified by:

copy in interface Operator
