Method Detail

get

public static <T> T get(FST<T> fst,
                        IntsRef input)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Looks up the output for this input, or null if the input is not accepted.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

get

public static <T> T get(FST<T> fst,
                        BytesRef input)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Looks up the output for this input, or null if the input is not accepted

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getByOutput

public static IntsRef getByOutput(FST<java.lang.Long> fst,
                                  long targetOutput)
                           throws java.io.IOException

Reverse lookup (lookup by output instead of by input), in the special case when your FSTs outputs are strictly ascending. This locates the input/output pair where the output is equal to the target, and will return null if that output does not exist.

NOTE: this only works with FST<Long>, only works when the outputs are ascending in order with the inputs. For example, simple ordinals (0, 1, 2, ...), or file offets (when appending to a file) fit this.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getByOutput

public static IntsRef getByOutput(FST<java.lang.Long> fst,
                                  long targetOutput,
                                  FST.BytesReader in,
                                  FST.Arc<java.lang.Long> arc,
                                  FST.Arc<java.lang.Long> scratchArc,
                                  IntsRef result)
                           throws java.io.IOException

Expert: like getByOutput(FST, long) except reusing BytesReader, initial and scratch Arc, and result.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

shortestPaths

public static <T> Util.MinResult<T>[] shortestPaths(FST<T> fst,
                                                    FST.Arc<T> fromNode,
                                                    T startOutput,
                                                    java.util.Comparator<T> comparator,
                                                    int topN,
                                                    boolean allowEmptyString)
                                             throws java.io.IOException

Starting from node, find the top N min cost completions to a final node.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

toDot

public static <T> void toDot(FST<T> fst,
                             java.io.Writer out,
                             boolean sameRank,
                             boolean labelStates)
                      throws java.io.IOException

Dumps an FST to a GraphViz's dot language description for visualization. Example of use:

 PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter("out.dot");
 Util.toDot(fst, pw, true, true);
 pw.close();
 

and then, from command line:

 dot -Tpng -o out.png out.dot
 

Note: larger FSTs (a few thousand nodes) won't even render, don't bother. If the FST is > 2.1 GB in size then this method will throw strange exceptions.

Parameters:

sameRank - If true, the resulting dot file will try to order states in layers of breadth-first traversal. This may mess up arcs, but makes the output FST's structure a bit clearer.

labelStates - If true states will have labels equal to their offsets in their binary format. Expands the graph considerably.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
