ADAMS reports are just Java .properties files used for storing meta-data. Since these files do not store any type information, ADAMS reports store with each key-value pair of data an additional key-value pair that contains the type information. As data types, the following are supported:
B
: booleanN
: numeric (float or integer)S
: stringU
: unknown (treated as string)
The data type appends <TAB>DataType
to the key of the data pair. Here is an example:
# comments get ignored
A=some_kind_of_string
A\tDataType=S
B=20.0
B\tDataType=N
C=true
C\tDataType=B
In case of audio classification, a single field in the report will hold the class label.
For the speech domain, a single field in the report will hold the transcript.
