Constructor Detail

BidirectionalMap

public BidirectionalMap(double eqThreshold,
                        double overThreshold,
                        double disThreshold)

Constructs a BidirectionalMap object based on the specified thresholds.

Parameters:

eqThreshold - the equivalence threshold

overThreshold - the overlapness threshold

disThreshold - the disjointness threshold

Method Detail

getRelationship

public SemanticRelationship getRelationship(BidirectionalDegree degree)

Returns the SemanticRelationship object based on the specified bidirectional degree. The bidirectional degree degree falls in a specific area of the map which based on the thresholds defines a specific semantic relationship.

Parameters:

degree - the bidirectional degree

Returns:

the SemanticRelationship object for the specified degree
