Response
The output from InformationExtractor is a list of the entities found in the input string. For example, if you selected an entity type of "Person," the output would be a list of the names found in the input string. Likewise, if you selected an entity type of "Date," the output would be a list of the dates found in the input string. Each entity (whether it be a name, address, date, and so on) is returned only once even if the entity appears multiple times in the input string.
