Interface ProfitModel

All Known Implementing Classes:

LabelRanking

public interface ProfitModel

A ProfitModel ranks LabelCandidates used for prioritizing certain label locations over others.

Generic labeling algorithms like SALabeling and GreedyMISLabeling will use the ranking to decide which LabelCandidates to eliminate.

LabelCandidates with a high profit will be preferred over LabelCandidates with a low profit.

Method Summary

double

getProfit(LabelCandidate candidate) Returns the profit for placing a label using the given LabelCandidate.

Method Detail

getProfit

double getProfit(LabelCandidate candidate)

Returns the profit for placing a label using the given LabelCandidate.

Higher profit means better candidates. Hence, there is a higher probability that the candidate is chosen by a labeling algorithm.

Profits need to have a value between 0 and 1.

Parameters:

candidate - the candidate

Returns:

the profit of the candidate
