Determine whether Factorie provides chunk information

[schmmd]

Ideally we would stop using OpenNLP. Factorie may provide the chunk information needed. If it provides a constituency parse, this can be reduced to chunks, and likely at higher precision than the OpenNLP chunker.

The point of chunks is to get some syntactic structure from a fast scan, without the expense of a full constituency parse.
If we're running a constituency parse, why not just use it rather than reducing it?

Because we have infrastructure that depends on a chunker. Your point
stands however.

ok, then perhaps describe it as something like "expose constituents as chunks"?
