I'm trying to find information on how exactly maximum entropy is used in the namefinder of OpenNLP.
I have taken a look at Ratnaparkhis dissertation and Bergers/Pietras papers and found interesting explanation of how MaxEnt is used with other NLP techniques. However, I could not find out which approach is used for the namefinder. Is there an in-depth documentation on how this is implemented?
I'd be really thankful for any information.
Kind regards,
Christian Eberling
