Evaluation Settings tab - Properties of Advanced Evaluator window

Each subfield that was added to the Evaluator Subfields list on the Subfields tab has its own set of settings. These settings are as follows:

Formatter

Select a formatter in the list so that the alternatives from the selected input locator can be compared based on their formats. The value for this setting is set to <none> by default.

You can edit the selected formatter by clicking on its properties button. Alternatively, if the desired formatter is not available, you can click on the Formatting button. The Formatting tab on the Project Settings window is displayed so you can add a new formatter.

Input Locator 1 / Input Locator 2 / Input Locator 3

Select a locator for one or more of the input locators from the lists. Once selected, additional settings become available. All three of these settings are set to <none> by default.

The area below the input locator list contains the evaluation steps for each of the selected locators. You can manage the evaluation steps using the following settings:

Use this evaluation step for processing

Each evaluation step has a check box with a corresponding number above it. When selected, the input locators are evaluated as configured. This setting is selected by default.

Use alternatives for input locator / Ignore alternatives for input locator

If an input locator is selected, additional settings are available in the column directly below. Click the Ignore button to use the above locator in this evaluation step. When clicked, the button changes to the Use button. The value for this setting is set to Ignore by default.

Training

If a trainable locator is selected as the input locator, additional buttons are available. Select the G button to use alternatives returned by the generic training algorithm. Select the S button for alternatives returned by the specific training algorithm, and select the § button to use rules based alternatives for this locator. All three settings are selected by default.

Input Locator Minimum Confidence
