"""

Classes and interfaces for labeling tokens with category labels (or

"class labels").  Typically, labels are represented with strings

(such as ``'health'`` or ``'sports'``).  Classifiers can be used to

perform a wide range of classification tasks.  For example,

classifiers can be used...



- to classify documents by topic

- to classify ambiguous words by which word sense is intended

- to classify acoustic signals by which phoneme they represent

- to classify sentences by their author



Features

========

In order to decide which category label is appropriate for a given

token, classifiers examine one or more 'features' of the token.  These

"features" are typically chosen by hand, and indicate which aspects

of the token are relevant to the classification decision.  For

example, a document classifier might use a separate feature for each

word, recording how often that word occurred in the document.



Featuresets

===========

The features describing a token are encoded using a "featureset",

which is a dictionary that maps from "feature names" to "feature

values".  Feature names are unique strings that indicate what aspect

of the token is encoded by the feature.  Examples include

``'prevword'``, for a feature whose value is the previous word; and

``'contains-word(library)'`` for a feature that is true when a document

contains the word ``'library'``.  Feature values are typically

booleans, numbers, or strings, depending on which feature they

describe.



Featuresets are typically constructed using a "feature detector"

(also known as a "feature extractor").  A feature detector is a

function that takes a token (and sometimes information about its

context) as its input, and returns a featureset describing that token.

For example, the following feature detector converts a document

(stored as a list of words) to a featureset describing the set of

words included in the document:



    >>> # Define a feature detector function.

    >>> def document_features(document):

    ...     return dict([('contains-word(%s)' % w, True) for w in document])



Feature detectors are typically applied to each token before it is fed

to the classifier:



    >>> # Classify each Gutenberg document.

    >>> from nltk.corpus import gutenberg

    >>> for fileid in gutenberg.fileids(): # doctest: +SKIP

    ...     doc = gutenberg.words(fileid) # doctest: +SKIP

    ...     print(fileid, classifier.classify(document_features(doc))) # doctest: +SKIP



The parameters that a feature detector expects will vary, depending on

the task and the needs of the feature detector.  For example, a

feature detector for word sense disambiguation (WSD) might take as its

input a sentence, and the index of a word that should be classified,

and return a featureset for that word.  The following feature detector

for WSD includes features describing the left and right contexts of

the target word:



    >>> def wsd_features(sentence, index):

    ...     featureset = {}

    ...     for i in range(max(0, index-3), index):

    ...         featureset['left-context(%s)' % sentence[i]] = True

    ...     for i in range(index, max(index+3, len(sentence))):

    ...         featureset['right-context(%s)' % sentence[i]] = True

    ...     return featureset



Training Classifiers

====================

Most classifiers are built by training them on a list of hand-labeled

examples, known as the "training set".  Training sets are represented

as lists of ``(featuredict, label)`` tuples.
