I haven't followed this in detail, but I do wonder why we don't have a single model that just predicts all the types? That is the standard thing to do...
We can do that. Anyway you could still end up in a situation where you want to merge the output of multiple name finders. Maybe you have a maxent name finder and a Dictionary or Regular Expression Name Finder. Then some application have a need to merge the names so there are no overlaps.
FWIW, integrating the output of multiple classifiers and incorporating their probabilities is something that can be done quite cleanly with approaches like Integer Linear Programming.
Sounds interesting, do you have a paper on this? What do you think about having a simple baseline version? Jörn
