Factbank's align method fails on whitespace tokens

[rudinger]

Fails with following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./readers.py", line 659, in <module>
    os.path.join(inp_, "tokens_tml.txt"))
  File "./readers.py", line 136, in __init__
    self.conll_txt = self.convert(tokens_tml)
  File "./readers.py", line 215, in convert
    dep_feats = self.get_dep_feats(toks, cur_sent)
  File "./readers.py", line 236, in get_dep_feats
    self.align(toks, sent)
  File "./readers.py", line 297, in align
    cur_word)))
Exception: Unknown case: (  891102, '  ', ' ')

This is my temporary hack/fix, and I'm not sure if this actually results in the right behavior.

See my response to #21, can you please attach some example sentences?

[rudinger]

It's this "sentence" (from sentences.txt):

'wsj_0006.tml'|||1|||'  891102'

I think the issue is with the two spaces before the number, which wind up in the tokenization.

[gabrielStanovsky]

It seems that this error occurs when using a slightly different version of FactBank, which replaces some Uu labels with NA, which seems to be semantically identical. Reverting to Uu labels solves the problem.
