  - ### BrownCluster

    public BrownCluster(InputStream in) throws IOException
    Instatiates a `BrownCluster` and its related token to cluster map via an `InputStream`.
    Parameters:
      `in` - A valid, open `InputStream` to read from.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - Thrown if errors occurred reading from `in`.

- ## Method Details

  - ### lookupToken

    public String lookupToken(String string)
    Check if a token is in the Brown:paths, token map.
    Parameters:
      `string` - the token to look-up
    Returns:
      the brown class if such token is in the brown cluster map.

  - ### serialize

    public void serialize(OutputStream out) throws IOException
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### getArtifactSerializerClass

    public Class<?> getArtifactSerializerClass()
    Description copied from interface: `SerializableArtifact`
    Retrieves the class which can serialize and recreate this artifact.

    Note: The serializer class must have a `public zero argument constructor` or an exception is thrown during model serialization/loading.

    Specified by:
      `getArtifactSerializerClass` in interface `SerializableArtifact`
    Returns:
      The corresponding `ArtifactSerializer` class.
