de.jungblut.ner.BasicFeatureExtractor

All Implemented Interfaces:

SequenceFeatureExtractor<java.lang.String>

public final class BasicFeatureExtractor
extends java.lang.Object
implements SequenceFeatureExtractor<java.lang.String>

Basic feature extraction for sequence learning, takes the current word into account and the previous label - as well as the joint version of both. This will implicitly create a dictionary in your features.
This was used to derive names from an english text.
