Class Lift

    java.lang.Object
      org.egothor.stemmer.Reduce
          org.egothor.stemmer.Lift

    public class Lift

extends Reduce

The Lift class is a data structure that is a variation of a Patricia trie.

Lift's raison d'etre is to implement reduction of the trie via the Lift-Up method., which makes the data structure less liable to overstemming.

Constructor Summary
`Lift(boolean changeSkip)` Constructor for the Lift object.

Method Summary
`void` `liftUp(Row in, List<Row> nodes)` Reduce the trie using Lift-Up reduction.
`Trie` `optimize(Trie orig)` Optimize (eliminate rows with no content) the given Trie and return the reduced Trie.

Methods inherited from class java.lang.Object
`clone, equals, finalize, getClass, hashCode, notify, notifyAll, toString, wait, wait, wait`

Constructor Detail

### Lift

    public Lift(boolean changeSkip)

  Constructor for the Lift object.

  Parameters:
    `changeSkip` - when set to `true`, comparison of two Cells takes a skip command into account

Method Detail

### optimize

    public Trie optimize(Trie orig)

  Optimize (eliminate rows with no content) the given Trie and return the reduced Trie.

  Overrides:
    `optimize` in class `Reduce`
  Parameters:
    `orig` - the Trie to optimized
  Returns:
    the reduced Trie

### liftUp

    public void liftUp(Row in,
                       List<Row> nodes)

  Reduce the trie using Lift-Up reduction.

  The Lift-Up reduction propagates all leaf-values (patch commands), where possible, to higher levels which are closer to the root of the trie.

  Parameters:
    `in` - the Row to consider when optimizing
    `nodes` - contains the patch commands
