's Issue

[Mena Badieh Habib Morgan]

Hello,
There is an issue with Possessive Apostrophes ('s) in the end of some named entities.
Sometimes it is considered part of the named entity (ex: "Michael Jackson's" in tweet 92229656115286016) and sometimes it is considered not a part of the named entity (ex: "Egypt's" in tweet 96585350411071489)

These are the cases I found with named entities ends with ('s) in the ground truth.
92229656115286016:Michael Jackson's
92557111468363776:Afghanistan's
102923598414622720:News1130's
94209038987952128:Demi's

92497498207297536:A's
94156730929381376:Fodor's

Thanks

There is also the named entities within single quotes like tweets 93047259066925056 and  93661388681125888. I think is might be good not to consider quotes  as part of the named entity.

Thanks

Dear Mena,

Thanks for your comments.
We have already addressed them in v1.6: we removed the single quotes and double quotes from the entity mentions and we also removed the apostrophes for most of the entities you mentioned.
However for the entities which contain an apostrophe in their name, e.g. Sainsbury's or Fodor's, we kept the apostrophe.

Hope it clarifies.
Best regards,
