Class Details

[line 64]
Detects the language of a given piece of text.

Attempts to detect the language of a sample of text by correlating ranked 3-gram frequencies to a table of 3-gram frequencies of known languages.

Implements a version of a technique originally proposed by Cavnar & Trenkle (1994): "N-Gram-Based Text Categorization"

Requires the language model database (lang.dat) that should have accompanied this class definition in order to be instantiated.

Example usage:

  1.  require_once 'Text/LanguageDetect.php';
    2. 

  2. 

    4. 

  4. 

  5.  $stdin = fopen ('php://stdin', 'r');
    6. 

  6. 

  7.  echo "Supported languages:\n";
    8. 

  8. 

  9.  try {
    10. 

  10.    $langs = $l->getLanguages ();
    11. 

    12. 

  12.    die($e->getMessage());
    13. 

  13.  }
    14. 

  14. 

  15.  sort ($langs);
    16. 

  16.  echo join (', ', $langs);
    17. 

  17. 

  18.  while ($line = fgets ($stdin)) {
    19. 

  19.    print_r ($l->detect ($line, 4));
    20.

Method Detail

Text_LanguageDetect __construct( )

Constructor

Will attempt to load the language database. If it fails, you will get an exception.

  • Access: public

Overridden in child classes as:

Text_LanguageDetect_Parser::__construct()

clusteredSearch [line 1322]

array clusteredSearch( string $str)

Perform an intelligent detection based on clusterLanguages()

WARNING: this method is EXPERIMENTAL. It is not recommended for common use, and it may disappear or its functionality may change in future releases without notice.

This compares the sample text to top the top level of clusters. If the sample is similar to the cluster it will drop down and compare it to the languages in the cluster, and so on until it hits a leaf node.

this should find the language in considerably fewer compares (the equivalent of a binary search), however clusterLanguages() is costly and the loss of accuracy from this technique is significant.

This method may need to be 'fuzzier' in order to become more accurate.

This function could be more useful if the universe of possible languages was very large, however in such cases some method of Bayesian inference might be more helpful.


Parameters:

string $str — input string

[ Top ]

clusterLanguages [line 1131]

array clusterLanguages( )

Cluster known languages according to languageSimilarity()

WARNING: this method is EXPERIMENTAL. It is not recommended for common use, and it may disappear or its functionality may change in future releases without notice.

Uses a nearest neighbor technique to generate the maximum possible number of dendograms from the similarity data.

  • Return: language cluster data
  • See: Text_LanguageDetect::languageSimilarity()
  • Deprecated: this function will eventually be removed and placed into the model generation class
  • Throws: Text_LanguageDetect_Exception
  • Access: public

[ Top ]

detect [line 653]

mixed detect( string $sample, [int $limit = 0])

Detects the closeness of a sample of text to the known languages

Calculates the statistical difference between the text and the trigrams for each language, normalizes the score then returns results for all languages in sorted order

If perl compatible, the score is 300-0, 0 being most similar. Otherwise, it's 0-1 with 1 being most similar.

The $sample text should be at least a few sentences in length; should be ascii-7 or utf8 encoded, if another and the mbstring extension is present it will try to detect and convert. However, experience has shown that mb_detect_encoding() *does not work very well* with at least some types of encoding.

  • Return: sorted array of language scores, blank array if no useable text was found
  • See: Text_LanguageDetect::_distance()
  • Throws: Text_LanguageDetect_Exception
  • Access: public

Parameters:

string $sample — a sample of text to compare.
int $limit — if specified, return an array of the most likely $limit languages and their scores.

[ Top ]

detectConfidence [line 834]

array detectConfidence( string $sample)

Returns an array containing the most similar language and a confidence rating

Confidence is a simple measure calculated from the similarity score minus the similarity score from the next most similar language divided by the highest possible score. Languages that have closely related cousins (e.g. Norwegian and Danish) should generally have lower confidence scores.

The similarity score answers the question "How likely is the text the returned language regardless of the other languages considered?" The confidence score is one way of answering the question "how likely is the text the detected language relative to the rest of the language model set?"

To see how similar languages are a priori, see languageSimilarity()

  • Return: most similar language, score and confidence rating or null if no language is similar
  • See: Text_LanguageDetect::detect()
  • Throws: Text_LanguageDetect_Exception
  • Access: public

Parameters:

string $sample — text for which language will be detected

string detectSimple( string $sample)
