Capitalization affects gerund tagging

[jjshao-ms]

nlp('Tutorial: creating a cake').debug()
nlp('Tutorial: Creating a cake').debug()

result:

  ┌─────────
  │ 'Tutorial'  - Expression
  │ 'creating'  - Verb, PresentTense, Gerund
  │ 'a'        - Determiner
  │ 'cake'     - Noun, Singular



  ┌─────────
  │ 'Tutorial'  - Expression
  │ 'Creating'  - ProperNoun, Noun
  │ 'a'        - Determiner
  │ 'cake'     - Noun, Singular

When capitalized, "creating" isn't being recognized as gerund, is this as expect?

hey Junjie - good point. The tagger looks at titlecase, and then checks if it is the first word of the sentence.
In your case, it is not, so it assumes it is a ProperNoun.
Will file it as a bug, thank you
cheers

for now, you can fix it with something like:

doc.match('^#Expression [#ProperNoun]', 0).match('/ing$/').tag('Gerund')

cheers
