get_companies not working

[janlukasschroeder]

Two problems:

1. running the example in your docs returns faulty results

import lexnlp.extract.en.entities.nltk_re
text = "This is Deutsche Bank Securities Inc."
print(list(lexnlp.extract.en.entities.nltk_re.get_companies(text)))
# [('This is Deutsche Bank Securities', 'Inc', 'Bank')]

I didn't expect "This is" to be included in the result. That's of no value at.

2. running the example with different input doesn't work at all

import lexnlp.extract.en.entities.nltk_re
text = "Google acquired Tableau"
print(list(lexnlp.extract.en.entities.nltk_re.get_companies(text)))
# [ ]

The result is empty. I expected to see Google and Tableau.
