title: How to "update" an existing Named Entity Recognition model - rather than creating from scratch?
body: <p>Please see the tutorial steps for OpenNLP - Named Entity Recognition : <a href="https://opennlp.apache.org/documentation/1.5.3/manual/opennlp.html" rel="noreferrer">Link to tutorial</a>
  I am using the "en-ner-person.bin" model found <a href="http://opennlp.sourceforge.net/models-1.5/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>
  In the tutorial, there are instructions on Training and creating a new model. Is there any way to "Update" the existing "en-ner-person.bin" with additional training data? </p>
  
  <p>Say I have a list of 500 additional person names that are otherwise not recognized as persons - how do I generate a new model?</p>
