Method Detail

compare

public double compare(LtpDtFeature query,
                      LtpDtFeature target)

Description copied from interface: DistanceComparator

Compare two objects, returning a score or distance.

Specified by:

compare in interface DistanceComparator<LtpDtFeature>

Parameters:

query - the first object

target - the second object

Returns:

a score or distance

isDistance

public boolean isDistance()

Specified by:

isDistance in interface DistanceComparator<LtpDtFeature>

Returns:

true if the comparison is a distance; false if similarity.

readBinary

public void readBinary(DataInput in)
                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: ReadableBinary

Specified by:

readBinary in interface ReadableBinary

Parameters:

in - source to read from.

Throws:

IOException - an error reading input

binaryHeader

public byte[] binaryHeader()

Description copied from interface: ReadableBinary

Header for binary input. Will be automatically read by IOUtils when using readBinary().
