Hi Jörn,
Thank you for the very quick reply, and for the advice to examine the
TreebankNameFinder class from trunk (I noticed the comment that "@deprecated
will be removed soon" which is good news!).
The TreebankNameFinder class seems more an executable tool, rather than an API
tool.
Ideally, I would like to pass a Parse object (for a sentence) and
TokenNameFinderModel object to a method in TreebankNameFinder - from within a
Java class method - and receive a Parse object with NER annotations added. For
example:
// start dummy snippet
TokenNameFinderModel someNFModel = new TokenNameFinderModel(
modelInputStream );
Parse sentenceParse = this.magicMethodToCreateSentenceParse();
/*
* Here's the functionality I would like in an ideal world…
*/
TreebankNameFinder tbNameFinder = new TreebankNameFinder( someNFModel );
Parse newSentenceParseWithNERs = tbNameFinder.processParse(
someSentenceParse );
// end of snippet
The methods in TreebankNameFinder are private, and none have this signature…
Would it be possible to include such functionality?
I am going experiment with the code - I can keep you informed of progress if
you like?
I look forward to the 1.5.3 release - I appreciate all the hard work.
Cheers,
Ant
