/** This is a demo of calling CRFClassifier programmatically.
 *  <p>
 *  Usage: {@code java -mx400m -cp "*" NERDemo [serializedClassifier [fileName]] }
 *  <p>
 *  If arguments aren't specified, they default to
 *  classifiers/english.all.3class.distsim.crf.ser.gz and some hardcoded sample text.
 *  If run with arguments, it shows some of the ways to get k-best labelings and
 *  probabilities out with CRFClassifier. If run without arguments, it shows some of
 *  the alternative output formats that you can get.
 *  <p>
 *  To use CRFClassifier from the command line:
 *  </p><blockquote>
 *  {@code java -mx400m edu.stanford.nlp.ie.crf.CRFClassifier -loadClassifier [classifier] -textFile [file] }
 *  </blockquote><p>
 *  Or if the file is already tokenized and one word per line, perhaps in
 *  a tab-separated value format with extra columns for part-of-speech tag,
 *  etc., use the version below (note the 's' instead of the 'x'):
 *  </p><blockquote>
 *  {@code java -mx400m edu.stanford.nlp.ie.crf.CRFClassifier -loadClassifier [classifier] -testFile [file] }
 *  </blockquote>
