Public Methods

Method	Description
GetStemmedWords ( string question ) : List>.Dictionary	Get all possible stems for each word in the string
Lexicon ( ) : System	constructor of the Lexicon class
getLiterals ( string question, int topN = 30, int Limit = 30 ) : List	get predicates is a method in lexicon class that get all LexiconLiterals objects that match some words in the Question
getPermutations ( string questionLeft ) : List	This function returns all permutations of a string ex: father of barack obama 1st iteration: father, of, barack, obama 2nd iteration: father of, of barack, barack obama 3rd iteration: father of barack, of barack obama 4th iteration: father of barack obama
getPredicates ( string question, int topN = 20, int Limit = 30 ) : List	get predicates is a method in lexicon class that get all predicates objects that match some words in the Question

Private Methods

Method	Description
addDomainAndRange ( List predicateList ) : List	takes the list of Predicates and add tothem the domain and Range data needed in two steps 1st : searching for direct Domain and ranges 2nd : searching for predicates who don't have domain and ranges and select the all predicates and objects get their types and add them to the domain and range field
scoreLiterals ( List results, int n ) : List
scorePredicates ( List results, int n ) : List	scoring predicates calculating the Distance between them and the matching words then returning the n ones who have the least distance
trimPermutations ( List m ) : List	after getting all permutations this function is to remove permutations that may take time during the Query and return no results
