Ok, but why not just ignore all the others tokens? i mean... when i write 2 TOKENS + ENTITY + 2 TOKENS i am interested on finding the entity with this surrounding tokens so it should mean that other "cases" can be ignored. No?
Why do i need to write all the other cases when those must be ignored. 2016-08-12 16:26 GMT+02:00 William Colen <william.co...@gmail.com>: > You also need examples of what is not entities. > > > 2016-08-12 11:21 GMT-03:00 Damiano Porta <damianopo...@gmail.com>: > > > 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.
