Method Detail

clone

public IdentityLearner<ValueType> clone()

Description copied from class: AbstractCloneableSerializable

This makes public the clone method on the Object class and removes the exception that it throws. Its default behavior is to automatically create a clone of the exact type of object that the clone is called on and to copy all primitives but to keep all references, which means it is a shallow copy. Extensions of this class may want to override this method (but call super.clone() to implement a "smart copy". That is, to target the most common use case for creating a copy of the object. Because of the default behavior being a shallow copy, extending classes only need to handle fields that need to have a deeper copy (or those that need to be reset). Some of the methods in ObjectUtil may be helpful in implementing a custom clone method. Note: The contract of this method is that you must use super.clone() as the basis for your implementation.

Specified by:

clone in interface CloneableSerializable

Overrides:

clone in class AbstractCloneableSerializable

Returns:

A clone of this object.

learn

public ValueType learn(ValueType data)

Description copied from interface: BatchLearner

The learn method creates an object of ResultType using data of type DataType, using some form of "learning" algorithm.

Specified by:

learn in interface BatchLearner<ValueType,ValueType>

Parameters:

data - The data that the learning algorithm will use to create an object of ResultType.

Returns:

The object that is created based on the given data using the learning algorithm.

create

public static <ValueType> IdentityLearner<ValueType> create()

A convenience method for creating a IdentityLearner.

Type Parameters:

ValueType - The type of value passed into and out of the learner.

Returns:

A new learner.
