/** * A package for doing inference with conditional random fields. This * implements the common, standard case of a linear chain CRF of arbitrary * order (though usually first order in practice) where each position can * be labeled with one of a fixed set of classes. * <p> * Through the use of different * <code>edu.stanford.nlp.sequences.FeatureFactory</code> classes and different * <code>edu.stanford.nlp.sequences.DocumentReaderAndWriter</code> classes, * it can read data in various formats, and be customized for various * sequence inference tasks. Most of its use has been for Named Entity * Recognition, but it has also been used for other applications such as * Chinese word segmentation and OCR. * <p> * For more usage information, consult the Javadoc of the * <code>CRFClassifier</code> class. * @author Jenny Finkel */ package edu.stanford.nlp.ie.crf;
