penalty(position1, position2, sentence, penalties)

A penalty function.

The penalty function calculates a penalty value for two sentences of two positions given a list of penalty-value and is defined by

\[\begin{split}d_{{d_0,d_1,d_2,d_3}}(\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B}, \{s,\neg s\}):= \begin{cases} d_3 \text{ if } \{s,\neg s\}\subset(\mathcal{A}\cup \mathcal{B}), \\ d_2 \text{ if } \{s,\neg s\}\cap \mathcal{A} \neq \emptyset \text{ and } \{s,\neg s\}\cap \mathcal{B} = \emptyset, \\ d_3 \text{ if } \{s,\neg s\}\cap \mathcal{A} = \emptyset \text{ and } \{s,\neg s\}\cap \mathcal{B} \neq \emptyset, \\ d_0 \text{ otherwise.}\end{cases}\end{split}\]

Parameters:

• position1 (Position) –

• position2 (Position) –

• sentence (int) – The index of the sentences with both positions.

• penalties (List[float]) – A float-list of penalty values.

Return type:
