edu.illinois.cs.cogcomp.ner.ExpressiveFeatures.FlatGazetteers

All Implemented Interfaces:

Gazetteers

public class FlatGazetteers
extends Object
implements Gazetteers

This singleton class contains all the gazetteer data and dictionaries. Can only be accessed via the get() method all constructors are private. annotate() takes a NEWord object and scans up to 4 words beyond. For each k-word expression 1 <= k <=5, it checks if that expression is present in any gazetteer. If so, every NEWord object corresponding to a word in that expression gets a new gazetteers attribute with a BIOLU tag plus gazetteer name as label.
