Name Finder Can't Find Barack Obama

[mbejda]

Are you using your own trained dataset or are you using the default one?

I'm using the default one. I don't have the data to build my own dataset so I was hoping to get a "pretty good" one freely available.

@iamchairs The fix has been published to the npm.

var sentence = 'Pierre Vinken , 61 years old , will join the board as a nonexecutive director Nov. 29. Barack Obama made a sandwich.';
var tokenizer = new openNLP().tokenizer;

    var nameFinder = new openNLP().nameFinder;
    nameFinder.find(sentence, function(err, tokens_arr) {
        console.log(err, tokens_arr)

    });

Now gives me '[0..2) person,[18..20) person'.

Wow that was a fast response! Thanks!
