Description

The docs state that one can pass null resources to the TokenNameFinderCrossValidator but that is not the case...At the very least one has to pass an empty Map rather than null, otherwise there will be a NPE right after the first 100 iterations of training finish! Passing an empty map does the trick...Thanks William!

At the very least you can add a null-check and create an empty map accordingly rather than letting the user do it...
