Interface: HotspotMeasure

Interface class: de.dfki.km.phaselib.impl.alignments.hotspot.HotspotMeasure

The purpose of a HotspotMeasure can be easily defined: it is to measure the quality of a given hotspot. That is, in particular, scoring the alignment contained.

A few conditions have to hold in order to get a usable HotspotMeasure:

1. The value returned is non negative.
2. Higher values mean better hotspot quality.
3. Size does matter! That is, a perfectly aligned small hotspot must score less than a perfectly aligned bigger one. Size in this context meaning the number of classes in the hotspot.

Additionally, the confidence of the alignment relations should be taken into account in some way.
