Method Detail

getContext

java.lang.String[] getContext(int index,
                              java.lang.Object[] sequence,
                              java.lang.String[] priorDecisions,
                              java.lang.Object[] additionalContext)

Returns the context for the specified position in the specified sequence (list).

Parameters:

index - The index of the sequence.

sequence - The sequence of items over which the beam search is performed.

priorDecisions - The sequence of decisions made prior to the context for which this decision is being made.

additionalContext - Any addition context specific to a class implementing this interface.

Returns:

the context for the specified position in the specified sequence.
