nltk.classify.ConditionalExponentialClassifier.__init__

ConditionalExponentialClassifier.__init__(encoding, weights, logarithmic=True)

Construct a new maxent classifier model. Typically, new classifier models are created using the train() method.

Parameters:
  • encoding (MaxentFeatureEncodingI) – An encoding that is used to convert the featuresets that are given to the classify method into joint-feature vectors, which are used by the maxent classifier model.
  • weights (list of float) – The feature weight vector for this classifier.
  • logarithmic (bool) – If false, then use non-logarithmic weights.
