/**
* <p>This operator is able to create feature weights based on regular expressions defined
* for the feature names. For example, the user can map all features with a name starting
* with "Att" to the weight 0.5 by using the regular expression "Att.*". All other feature
* weights whose feature names are not covered by one of the regular expressions are
* set to the default weight.</p>
*
* <p>Please note that the weights defined in the regular expression list are set in the order
* as they are defined in the list, i.e. weights can overwrite weights set before.</p>
