|
|
A set of functions used to interface with the external megam_ maxent
|
|
|
|
optimization package. Before megam can be used, you should tell NLTK where it
|
|
|
|
can find the megam binary, using the ``config_megam()`` function. Typical
|
|
|
|
usage:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> from nltk.classify import megam
|
|
|
|
>>> megam.config_megam() # pass path to megam if not found in PATH # doctest: +SKIP
|
|
|
|
[Found megam: ...]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use with MaxentClassifier. Example below, see MaxentClassifier documentation
|
|
|
|
for details.
