When using the basic formatted files with your own feature vectors. What label values should you use and when should you use them. The documentation only contains a very small two line example. Thinking along the line of the word level labels there are really three classes in use when considering an NER task (following the IOB tagging scheme). Do you need to explicitly use labels for each of the three classes, or will jCarafe handle the conversion. In the case where you have Others, those items in the sequence you are not explicitly interested in labelling what label do you use for those?
