        Getter for batchMode: Whether to start processing immediately (true) or wait until the user presses "Convert" (false).
        Returns:
        Whether to start processing immediately (true) or wait until the user presses "Convert" (false).

      • getDeserializer

        public abstract GraphDeserializer getDeserializer()
        Gets the deserializer that convert(File) uses.

        The serializer to use.

      • getLayersToSerialize

        public String[] getLayersToSerialize()
        Specifies which layers should be given to the serializer. The default implementaion returns only the "utterance" layer.
        Returns:
        An array of layer IDs.

      • deserializerConfiguration

        public ParameterSet deserializerConfiguration​(ParameterSet config)
        Adjust the configuration of the deserializer. Implementors can adjust the default configuration before it's applied. This method is invoked once for each input file.
        Parameters:
        config - The default configuration.
        Returns:
        The new configuration.

      • deserializationParameters

        public ParameterSet deserializationParameters​(ParameterSet parameters)
        Adjust the parameters for deserialization. Implementors can adjust the default configuration before it's applied. This method is invoked once for each input file.
        Parameters:
        parameters - The default parameters.
        Returns:
        The new configuration.

      • serializerConfiguration

        public ParameterSet serializerConfiguration​(ParameterSet config)
        Adjust the configuration of the serializer. Implementors can adjust the default configuration before it's applied. This method is invoked once for each input file.
        Parameters:
        config - The default configuration.
        Returns:
        The new configuration.

      • processTranscripts

        public void processTranscripts​(Graph[] transcripts)
        Process the transcripts after they were deserialized, but before they're serialized. Implementors can rename speakers, adjust meta-data, or change the graph in any other way required before serialization.
        Parameters:
        transcripts -

      • getSchema

        public Schema getSchema()
        Specify the schema to used by convert(File).
        Returns:
        The schema.

      • convert

        public void convert​(Vector<File> inputFiles)
             throws SerializationException,
                    Exception
        Converts all files by deserializing all first, and then serializing all resulting graphs at once. The default implementation uses a default schema, default settings for serializations, and serializes the "utterance" layer only.
        Parameters:
        inputFiles -
        Throws:
        Exception
        SerializationException

      • help

        public String help()
        Generates help information.
        Returns:

        Parameters:
        parameters - The parameters to configure.
        schema - The source of any layers specified.

        Parameters:
        name - The switch name.
        value - The value for the switch.
        Returns:
        A reference to this object, so that calls can be stacked like a builder.
