Hello everyone, pardon for the stupid question but i really do not get the point about training a maxent model with complete sentences.
For example: <START:person> Pierre Vinken <END> , 61 years old , will join the board as a nonexecutive director Nov. 29 . it has ~20 tokens. As described here: https://opennlp.apache.org/documentation/1.6.0/manual/opennlp.html#tools.namefind.training.featuregen the default window should be 2 tokens on the left and 2 tokens on the right of the entity. So, what's the point of writing the entire sentence if there are no other entities ? As far i have understood it correctly, it should take into account the Pierre Vinken (as entity name) and "," "61" as the next 2 tokens. So, why do we need "*years old , will join the board as a nonexecutive*" ? Thank you in advance for the clarification! Best Damiano
