I've finished the testing with the Name Finders.
The results where improved slightly. I know in the English models the
tagger mistakenly tagged adjacent tokens as being identical when in fact
the model had correctly categorized the names. There were 3 sentences
that previously had an incorrect adjacent tag in the 1.5.2 release that
are now fixed and improved the score slightly for the 1.5.3 release.
I'm not sure on the other models how many sentences were affected.
This only affected the name finder that was trained to categorize all
the names together into one model. Models trained to only find one type
of name where not affected by this change, because any adjacently tagged
item would be the same type anyway.
