OpenNlp Case Insensitive Location Finder

Question

I want to get the name of the locations mentioned in a sentence. Everything works fine untill a location name is found with small starting letter. So is there any way to solve this problem? Do I need to train my own model file? Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

you'll need to make your own model file for these type of things, which is tedious. A simple solution would be, add some code to make the first letter capital of every token in your sentence before finding the location. something like this,mentioned here:

String str = "java";
String cap = str.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + str.substring(1);

hope this helps!
