Hi, To the application I am developing it is important to know the head of a chunk.
I added a * to the chunk tag to mark tokena that are the head of the phrase. For example I have: Me pron-pers *B-NP pergunto v-fin B-VP sempre adv *B-ADVP quem pron-indp *B-NP podia v-fin B-VP ter v-inf I-VP sido v-pcp I-VP aquele pron-det B-NP jovem adj I-NP alemão n *I-NP . . O It is working OK and the F-1 is almost the same as if I there was no head mark. But I have some issues. With this mark the method Chunker.chunkAsSpans() and the UIMA Chunker doesn't work properly because the current implementation don't know how to handle the * while computing the spans. I would like to ask you if adding it to OpenNLP is a good idea. If yes I would change the trunk code to handle this head symbol, or maybe you should give me some advise on how to do that without the need of changing the current implementation. Thanks, William
