Method Detail

computeEmoticonCoefForSentence

public static double computeEmoticonCoefForSentence(java.lang.String sentence)
                                             throws java.io.IOException

Computes emotiocon qoef for the sentence. Qoef is based on number of important chars in an emotion (e.g. ')' in ':)))))' ).

Parameters:

sentence - String representing the sentence

Returns:

double value of the emoticon coef

Throws:

java.io.IOException

computeEmoticonCoef

public static double computeEmoticonCoef(java.lang.String word,
                                         AffectWord emoticon)

Computes emoticon qoef for the word. Qoef is based on number of important chars in an emotion (e.g. ')' in ':)))))' ).

Parameters:

word - String representing the word

emoticon - AffectWord representing the emoticon

Returns:

double value of the emoticon qoef

hasNegation

public static boolean hasNegation(java.lang.String sentence)
                           throws java.io.IOException

Returns true if sentence has negation in it.

Parameters:

sentence - String representing the sentence

Returns:

boolean, true if sentence has negation in it

Throws:

java.io.IOException

computeModifier

public static double computeModifier(java.lang.String word)
                              throws java.io.IOException

Computes the intensity modifier based on the word.

Parameters:

word - String representing the word

Returns:

double representing the modifier

Throws:

java.io.IOException

computeCapsLockQoef

public static double computeCapsLockQoef(java.lang.String word)

Computes the upper case qoeficient.

Parameters:

word - String representing the word

Returns:

double representing the upper case qoeficient

computeExclaminationQoef

public static double computeExclaminationQoef(java.lang.String text)

Computes the exclamination qoef -- function of a number of '!' chars in a sentence.

Parameters:

text - String representing the sentence

Returns:

double representing the exclamination qoef
