Hi I'm trying to write my own feature generator for a NER task. I've read the docs at [1] but I am an example based learner and was wondering if there were any resources on the end to end chain of how to actually customize a feature generator and run it. I am in particular looking to implement a feature generator that maps words onto a small set of patterns (first suggested by [2]).
thank you [1] http://opennlp.apache.org/documentation/1.5.3/manual/opennlp.html#tools.namefind.training [2] Collins, Michael (2002) Ranking Algorithms for Named–Entity Extraction: Boosting and the Voted Perceptron. Proc. Association for Computational Linguistics.
