I can also provide the "AggregateNameFinder" class which takes any
number of name-finders and merges their results in order to get better
evaluation statistics. Internally, it uses the
"NameFinderME.dropOverlappingSpans()" method to get rid of nested spans,
which however does the simplistic thing of keeping the earliest span
(ignoring the type of the span completely). I think being able to merge
results from several name-finders is a killer feature that a lot of
people will appreciate even if i don't think keeping the earliest span
is sensible when trying to evaluate several finders on multiple entity
types...

Hi James
Should Similarity component come with 1.5.3?
It has been stable for more than a month now and needs just a final touch

Subject: OpenNLP 1.5.3 ....
Everyone,
Does anyone object to us releasing a 1.5.3 release?
I'm only asking because we have several important fixes currently in
trunk that some people are coming across as they are trying to use and
we also haven't had a release since graduating.
I'm not trying to push the issue; but, would be nice.
I've also got more data we can test against with the addition of the
ConLL 02 and ConLLX data I downloaded that is available.
Thanks,
James
