- ## Method Details

  - ### categorize

    double[] categorize(String[] text, Map<String,Object> extraInformation)
    Categorizes the given `text` provided as tokens along with the provided `extraInformation`.
    Parameters:
      `text` - The tokens of text to categorize.
      `extraInformation` - The extra information used for this context.
    Returns:
      The per category probabilities.

  - ### categorize

    double[] categorize(String[] text)
    Categorizes the given `text`, provided in separate tokens.
    Parameters:
      `text` - The tokens of text to categorize.
    Returns:
      The per category probabilities.

  - ### getBestCategory

    String getBestCategory(double[] outcome)
    Retrieves the best category from previously generated `outcome` probabilities
    Parameters:
      `outcome` - An array of computed outcome probabilities.
    Returns:
      The best category represented as String.

  - ### getIndex

    int getIndex(String category)
    Retrieves the index of a certain category.
    Parameters:
      `category` - The category for which the `index` is to be found.
    Returns:
      The index.

  - ### getCategory

    String getCategory(int index)
    Retrieves the category at a given `index`.
    Parameters:
      `index` - The index for which the `category` shall be found.
    Returns:
      The category represented as String.

  - ### getNumberOfCategories

    int getNumberOfCategories()
    Retrieves the number of categories.
    Returns:
      The no. of categories.

  - ### getAllResults

    String getAllResults(double[] results)
    Retrieves the name of the category associated with the given probabilities.
    Parameters:
      `results` - The probabilities of each category.
    Returns:
      The name of the outcome.

  - ### scoreMap

    Map<String,Double> scoreMap(String[] text)
    Retrieves a `Map` in which the key is the category name and the value is the score.
    Parameters:
      `text` - The tokenized input text to classify.
    Returns:
      A `Map` with the score as a key.

  - ### sortedScoreMap

    SortedMap<Double,Set<String>> sortedScoreMap(String[] text)
    Retrieves a `SortedMap` of the scores sorted in ascending order, together with their associated categories.

    Many categories can have the same score, hence the `Set` as value.

    Parameters:
      `text` - the input text to classify
    Returns:
      A `SortedMap` with the score as a key.
