The properties are:
count | Total segments into which the text was split | int |
original | The original text. | string? |
segments | The list of segments with start character position and the text | object[] |
rules | An array of breaking and exception rules that were activated for all the positions in the text. See below for details. | string |
parameters | Includes information from the original payload. | object |
...
position | The text position that the system attempts to split | int |
retained |
| bool |
tooShort | If the split segment is shorter than an allowed minimum, the split will be canceled. This property is then set to true. | bool |
breaking | The breaking rule that was applied. | object |
exception | The exception rule, if any, that canceled the breaking rule. If there is no exception then the properties will all be null. | object |
Text segmentation works as follows:
IDENTIFY SPLIT POINTS: The process identifies all potential break points in the text from right to left. Once all break points are identified it looks to see if some of them need to be removed / canceled:
CHECK MINIMUM LENGTH: By looking at each segment from right to left, it identifies any segment that is shorter than the minimum length, listed in
parameters.minimumSegmentLength
. If so, then the split point to the left of the segment is removed. ThetooShort
property will be flagged for the canceled split point.APPLY EXCEPTION RULES: If an exception rule is found in the SRX configuration that matches a remaining split point, then the split is also canceled. The details for the exception rule are listed in the
exception
property.
If you believe that this process is complicate then the Wordbee team heartily agrees with you.
