Just need to add the mark to the corpus tags. I think it is much better to use the Chunker because it is faster and adding the head (some people call it main). > Anyway it should be easy to extend the ChunkerME class in a way that > modifying > the labels as you did is possible without modifying the OpenNLP code. > Yes, it is easy. I just changed the chunkAsSpans method and added a new class called HeadedSpan. It is easy to do it as an extension, but I will not be able to use the command line tools to trains, execute and evaluate anymore. But I think it is the way to go if it is not common to other languages. Thanks William
