Support for using additional gazetteers as features about tagger

[glample]

Hi,

I tried once to add gazetteers, and it was improving the score a little (not too much in English, but I think it was significant for some of the 4 CoNLL languages). However, I tried to simplify the code here and I didn't include this optional feature...

Thanks for the reply @glample . However for my task, I am planning on adding the gazetteer features as well as I believe it could improve my results. If you still have the gazetteers code, let me know if you could provide it(Atleast something to start off). Else, if I plan to make changes to the repo to add gazetteers features as well and send a PR, so that if somebody else needs to use it, they can.

Unfortunately I won't have much time this summer to work on this, but if you want to update the code and send a PR that would be great. I can help you with that. I can also send you a version of the code I used when I was using gazetteers, it's kind of dirty, but the code related to the gazetteers part is pretty short and should be easy to add to the code of this repo.

@glample . If you could send me that dirty bit of code for gazetteers that would be helpful. I can make changes to them and send a PR. Should not a problem from my end at all.

Hey JuliMinou, I had made the code changes. But, never checked in the code i guess. Let me just check in the code soon. Give me a day or two. Thanks, Vardhaman

Hi @metpallyv, uh nice thx. Since I am very new to the whole topci, could you add a brief description what kind of file is needed for the gazetters?
