  - ### processSample

    public opennlp.tools.langdetect.LanguageSample processSample(opennlp.tools.langdetect.LanguageSample sample)
    Evaluates the given reference `LanguageSample` object. This is achieved by categorizing the document of the provided `LanguageSample`. The detected language is then used to calculate and update the score.
    Parameters:
      `sample` - the reference `LanguageSample`.
    Returns:
      The processed `LanguageSample`.

  - ### getAccuracy

    public double getAccuracy()
    Returns:
      Retrieves the accuracy of provided `DocumentCategorizer`. Here: `accuracy = correctly categorized documents / total documents`.
