Interface Sampler<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

Distribution

public interface Sampler<T>

An interace for drawing samples from the label space of an object. The classifiers themselves are Sampleable. For instance, a parser can Sampleable and then vends Sampler instances based on specific inputs (words in the sentence). The Sampler would then return parse trees (over that particular sentence, not over all sentences) drawn from the underlying distribution.
