And this worked. I was just interested in why the second code worked and
the first did not. I feel sure I had the path to the model correct in the
first code because it showed a debug line about loading the model and
delayed about 60 seconds. I did not see any errors - just an empty array of
name spans.
The model itself is just a container of all the resources the
NameFinderME needs. To detect
names, you need to instantiate the NameFinderME and feed it with
sentences.
The documentation explains this, have a look here:
http://opennlp.apache.org/documentation/1.5.3/manual/opennlp.html#tools.namefind.recognition.api
Also have a look at the JavaDocs of the NameFinderME.
The sentences don't need to be read from the command line, the samples
just do this
for illustrations purposes. In a production system you probably have
some kind of data base
which contains everything,
