Identifies patterns with a combination of any number of specified tokens, regardless of the surrounding tokens.

Adding a Pattern

Click on the  button which will popup the "Add new Pattern" dialog


  • Pattern ( type=string | required ) - Pattern to look for
  • Options
    • Max Total Tokens in tag ( type=integer | default=2 | required ) - Maximum number of tokens between the first and last matched tokens
      • This number includes the tokens of the pattern
    • Min Total Tokens in Tag ( type=integer | default=2 | required ) - Minimum number of tokens between the first and last matched tokens
      • This number includes the tokens of the pattern
    • In Any Order ( type=boolean | default=unchecked | optional ) - Indicates if the tokens of the pattern can be in any order
      • if pattern is "a b c", it could match "c b a" or "b c a" also
  • Confidence Adjustment ( type=double | default=1 | required ) - Adjustment factor to apply to the confidence value of 0.0 to 2.0 from (Applies for every pattern match).
    • 0.0 to < 1.0  decreases confidence value
    • 1.0 confidence value remains the same
    • > 1.0 to  2.0 increases confidence value

General Settings

The general settings can be accessed by clicking on 

More settings could be displayed in the same dialog, it varies per recognizer.


  • Enable - Enable the processor to be use in pipelines.
  • Base Pipeline - Indicates the last stage, from a pipeline, needed by the recognizer.
  • Skip Flags ( optional ) - Lexical items flags to be ignored by this processor.
  • Boundary Flags  ( optional ) - List of vertex flags that indicate the beginning and end of a text block.
  • Required Flags ( optional ) - Lexical items flags required by every token to be processed.
  • At Least One Flag ( optional ) - Lexical items flags needed by every token to be processed.
  • Don't Process Flags ( optional ) - List of lexical items flags that are not processed. The difference with "Skip Flags" is that this will drop the path in the Saga graph, skip just skips the token and continues in the same path.
  • Confidence Adjustment - Adjustment factor to apply to the confidence value of 0.0 to 2.0 from (Applies for every match).
    • 0.0 to < 1.0  decreases confidence value
    • 1.0 confidence value remains the same
    • > 1.0 to  2.0 increases confidence value
  • Debug - Enable debug logging.
