SemanticSpace interface

[SemanticSpace] (http://fozziethebeat.github.com/S-Space/apidocs/edu/ucla/sspace/common/SemanticSpace.html) is an interface that defines the basic functionality which all Semantic Space models should implement for uniformity of use. It is designed so that a SemanticSpace is a multi-step process:

• processDocument() - run for each document to add it to the sspace
• processSpace() - run after all documents have been added, for post-processing (e.g. SVD)
• getWords() - call to obtain a Set of words in the sspace
• getVector() - call to obtain the vector associate for a give word

Various utilities are then provided for any implemented SemanticSpace, such as storing the sspace as a binary or text file, and retrieving the sspace from a binary or text file for evaluation purposes.
