public enum NaturalLogicRelation
extends java.lang.Enum<NaturalLogicRelation>

The catalog of the seven Natural Logic relations. Set-theoretically, if we assume A and B are two sets (e.g., denotations), and D is the universe of discourse, then the relations between A and B are defined as follows:

• Equivalence: A = B
• Forward entailment: A \\subset B
• Reverse entailment: A \\supset B
• Negation: A \\intersect B = \\empty \\land A \\union B = D
• Alternation: A \\intersect B = \\empty
• Cover: A \\union B = D

Method Detail

values

public static NaturalLogicRelation[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (NaturalLogicRelation c : NaturalLogicRelation.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static NaturalLogicRelation valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

byFixedIndex

protected static NaturalLogicRelation byFixedIndex(int index)

join

public NaturalLogicRelation join(NaturalLogicRelation other)

The MacCartney "join table" -- this determines the transitivity of entailment if we chain two relations together. These should already be projected up through the sentence, so that the relations being joined are relations between sentences rather than relations between lexical items (see Polarity.projectLexicalRelation(NaturalLogicRelation), set by NaturalLogicAnnotator using the NaturalLogicAnnotations.PolarityAnnotation).

Parameters:

other - The relation to join this relation with.

Returns:

The new joined relation.

knownDependencyArc

public static boolean knownDependencyArc(java.lang.String dependencyLabel)

Returns whether this is a known dependency arc.

forDependencyInsertion

public static NaturalLogicRelation forDependencyInsertion(java.lang.String dependencyLabel)

Returns the natural logic relation corresponding to the given dependency arc being inserted into a sentence.

forDependencyInsertion

public static NaturalLogicRelation forDependencyInsertion(java.lang.String dependencyLabel,
                                                          boolean isSubject)

Returns the natural logic relation corresponding to the given dependency arc being inserted into a sentence.

Parameters:

dependencyLabel - The label we are checking the relation for.

isSubject - Whether this is on the subject side of a relation (e.g., for CONJ_OR edges)

forDependencyDeletion

public static NaturalLogicRelation forDependencyDeletion(java.lang.String dependencyLabel)

Returns the natural logic relation corresponding to the given dependency arc being deleted from a sentence.

forDependencyDeletion

public static NaturalLogicRelation forDependencyDeletion(java.lang.String dependencyLabel,
                                                         boolean isSubject)

Returns the natural logic relation corresponding to the given dependency arc being deleted from a sentence.

Parameters:

dependencyLabel - The label we are checking the relation for

isSubject - Whether this is on the subject side of a relation (e.g., for CONJ_OR edges)
