Lara Marinov commented on OPENNLP-1388:
---------------------------------------
Is this issue still available for work? The link in the original post should be
changed to
[https://github.com/apache/opennlp/compare/main...jzonthemtn:opennlp:OPENNLP-1388].
{{getCoveredText}} in {{Span}} does not know the token positions. How would
one add a new function to {{Span}} to get the covered text when the positions
are token-based? How could {{Span}} know the positions of the characters in
terms of tokens? If you could give a hint for the API design, we could work on
the implementation.

> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 1.9.4, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Jeff Zemerick
> Assignee: Jeff Zemerick
> Priority: Major
>
> Span.getCoveredText() is getting the string based on the character start/end
> and not the token start/end.
> Example:
> string = "Neil Abercrombie Anibal Acevedo-Vila Gary Ackerman"
> span = [0..2) person
> span.getCoveredText(sentence)) returns "Ne" and not "Neil Abercrombie"
> What is the correct behavior?
> There is a branch that illustrates this at
> https://github.com/apache/opennlp/compare/master...jzonthemtn:opennlp:OPENNLP-1388.
