Class NameMatcher

java.lang.Object
  edu.cmu.minorthird.text.AbstractAnnotator
      edu.cmu.minorthird.text.learn.NameMatcher

All Implemented Interfaces:

Annotator

public class NameMatcher
extends AbstractAnnotator

A name matching scheme on top of a given extractor, fit for spanTypes depicting personal names. This class applies a given annotator. Then, it uses the output extractor's dictionary of predicted names and over-rides some of the original predictions, using the NameMatcher scheme. This procedure increases recall, at low cost of precision.
