Class NERCombinerAnnotator

java.lang.Object
  edu.stanford.nlp.pipeline.NERCombinerAnnotator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Annotator

public class NERCombinerAnnotator
extends java.lang.Object
implements Annotator

This class will add NER information to an Annotation using a combination of NER models. It assumes that the Annotation already contains the tokenized words as a List<? extends CoreLabel> or a List<List<? extends CoreLabel>> under Annotation.WORDS_KEY and adds NER information to each CoreLabel, in the CoreLabel.NER_KEY field. It uses the NERClassifierCombiner class in the ie package.

Jenny Finkel, Mihai Surdeanu (modified it to work with the new NERClassifierCombiner)

Method Detail

annotate

public void annotate(Annotation annotation)

Description copied from interface: Annotator

Given an annotation, perform a task on this annotaiton.

Specified by:

annotate in interface Annotator

doOneSentence

public CoreMap doOneSentence(Annotation annotation,
                             CoreMap sentence)

requires

public java.util.Set<Annotator.Requirement> requires()

Description copied from interface: Annotator

Returns the set of tasks which this annotator requires in order to perform. For example, the POS annotator will return "tokenize", "ssplit".

Specified by:

requires in interface Annotator
