public class SubstringLabeler
extends BaseStep
    Step that appends a label to incoming instances according to substring matches in string attributes. Multiple match "rules" can be specified - these get applied in the order that they are defined. Each rule can be applied to one or more user-specified input String attributes. Attributes can be specified using either a range list (e.g 1,2-10,last) or by a comma separated list of attribute names (where "/first" and "/last" are special strings indicating the first and last attribute respectively).

        @ProgrammaticProperty
public void setMatchDetails​(java.lang.String details)
        Set internally encoded list of match rules
        Parameters:
        details - the list of match rules

      • getMatchDetails

        public java.lang.String getMatchDetails()
        Get the internally encoded list of match rules
        Returns:
        the match rules

      • setNominalBinary

        @OptionMetadata(displayName="Make a nominal binary attribute",
                description="Whether to encode the new attribute as nominal when it is binary (as opposed to numeric)",
                displayOrder=1)
public void setNominalBinary​(boolean nom)
        Set whether the new attribute created should be a nominal binary attribute rather than a numeric binary attribute.
        Parameters:
        nom - true if the attribute should be a nominal binary one

      • getNominalBinary

        public boolean getNominalBinary()
        Get whether the new attribute created should be a nominal binary attribute rather than a numeric binary attribute.
        Returns:
        true if the attribute should be a nominal binary one

      • setConsumeNonMatching

        @OptionMetadata(displayName="Consume non matching instances",
                description="Instances that do not match any rules will be consumed, rather than being output with a missing value for the new attribute",
                displayOrder=2)
public void setConsumeNonMatching​(boolean consume)
        Set whether instances that do not match any of the rules should be "consumed" rather than output with a missing value set for the new attribute.
        Parameters:
        consume - true if non matching instances should be consumed by the component.

      • getConsumeNonMatching

        public boolean getConsumeNonMatching()
        Get whether instances that do not match any of the rules should be "consumed" rather than output with a missing value set for the new attribute.
        Returns:
        true if non matching instances should be consumed by the component.

      • setMatchAttributeName

        @OptionMetadata(displayName="Name of the new attribute",
                description="Name to give the new attribute",
                displayOrder=0)
public void setMatchAttributeName​(java.lang.String name)
        Set the name of the new attribute that is created to indicate the match
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the new attribute

      • getMatchAttributeName

        public java.lang.String getMatchAttributeName()
        Get the name of the new attribute that is created to indicate the match
        Returns:
        the name of the new attribute

      • getIncomingConnectionTypes

        public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getIncomingConnectionTypes()
        Get a list of incoming connection types that this step can accept. Ideally (and if appropriate), this should take into account the state of the step and any existing incoming connections. E.g. a step might be able to accept one (and only one) incoming batch data connection.
        Returns:
        a list of incoming connections that this step can accept given its current state

      • getOutgoingConnectionTypes

        public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getOutgoingConnectionTypes()
        Get a list of outgoing connection types that this step can produce. Ideally (and if appropriate), this should take into account the state of the step and the incoming connections. E.g. depending on what incoming connection is present, a step might be able to produce a trainingSet output, a testSet output or neither, but not both.
        Returns:
        a list of outgoing connections that this step can produce

      • outputStructureForConnectionType

        public Instances outputStructureForConnectionType​(java.lang.String connectionName)
                                           throws WekaException
        If possible, get the output structure for the named connection type as a header-only set of instances. Can return null if the specified connection type is not representable as Instances or cannot be determined at present.
        Specified by:
        outputStructureForConnectionType in interface Step
        Overrides:
        outputStructureForConnectionType in class BaseStep
        Parameters:
        connectionName - the name of the connection type to get the output structure for
        Returns:
        the output structure as a header-only Instances object
        Throws:
        WekaException - if a problem occurs

      • getCustomEditorForStep

        public java.lang.String getCustomEditorForStep()
        Return the fully qualified name of a custom editor component (JComponent) to use for editing the properties of the step. This method can return null, in which case the system will dynamically generate an editor using the GenericObjectEditor
        Specified by:
        getCustomEditorForStep in interface Step
        Overrides:
        getCustomEditorForStep in class BaseStep
        Returns:
        the fully qualified name of a step editor component
