Struct DictionaryCandidateGenerator 

pub struct DictionaryCandidateGenerator { /* private fields */ }

In-memory candidate generator using a preloaded dictionary.

Suitable for small KBs or testing.

Similarity Metrics

The generator supports multiple similarity metrics via with_metric():

use anno::linking::{DictionaryCandidateGenerator, SimilarityMetric};

let gen = DictionaryCandidateGenerator::new()
    .with_metric(SimilarityMetric::EditDistance)
    .with_well_known();

// For OCR'd text with damage markers:
let gen_ocr = DictionaryCandidateGenerator::new()
    .with_metric(SimilarityMetric::EditDistanceWildcard)
    .with_well_known();

Implementations

impl DictionaryCandidateGenerator

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new dictionary generator.

pub fn with_metric(self, metric: SimilarityMetric) -> Self

Set the similarity metric for fuzzy matching.

Example

use anno::linking::{DictionaryCandidateGenerator, SimilarityMetric};

// For damaged historical text with wildcards
let gen = DictionaryCandidateGenerator::new()
    .with_metric(SimilarityMetric::EditDistanceWildcard);

pub fn metric(&self) -> SimilarityMetric

Get the current similarity metric.

pub fn add_entry(&mut self, surface: &str, candidate: Candidate)

Add an entry to the dictionary.

pub fn with_well_known(self) -> Self

Load well-known entities (for demo/testing).

Includes diverse entities across cultures and languages per multilingual guidelines. Coverage: Western, East Asian, Middle Eastern, African, South Asian, Latin American.
