I'm currently training a model for named entity recognition and I could not find out how the pipeline in spacy should be structured in order to achieve better results. Does it make sense to use tok2vec before the ner component?
The NER component requires a tok2vec (or Transformers) component as a source of features, and will not work without it.
For more details about pipeline structure and feature sources, this section of the docs may be helpful.

I'm currently trying to do named entity recognition for tweets using spacy. For that purpose i created with Gensim word vectors which I'm using to train a new blank ner model. At the moment I am a bit confused how the set up the pipeline for my purpose. Regarding this, I have the following question:
The pipeline which I'm currently using consists only of one ner component. Have someone recommendations for construction the pipeline (e.g. using tok2vec before ner)?
I also wonder if my approach of training a new model with previously created word vectors is the right one and how i could further improve my prediction accuracy.
I trained a custom SpaCy Named entity recognition model to detect biased words in job description. Now that I trained 8 variantions (using different base model, training model, and pipeline setting), I want to evaluate which model is performing best.
But.. I can't find any documentation on the validation of these models.
There are some numbers of recall, f1-score and precision on the meta.json file, in the output folder, but that is no sufficient.
Anyone knows how to validate or can link me to the correct documentation? The documentation seem nowhere to be found.
NOTE: Talking about SpaCy V3.x
During training you should provide "evaluation data" that can be used for validation. This will be evaluated periodically during training and appropriate scores will be printed.
Note that there's a lot of different terminology in use, but in spaCy there's "training data" that you actually train on and "evaluation data" which is not training and just used for scoring during the training process. To evaluate on held-out test data you can use the cli evaluate command.
Take a look at this fashion brands example project to see how "eval" data is configured and used.
I want to use NER(CRF classifier) to identify Author names in a query. I trained NER following the method given in nlp.stanford.edu site using the training file:training-data.col. And tested using the file:testing-data.tsv.
The NER is tagging every input as Author, even the data that is tagged as non-Author in the training data. Can anyone tell me why NER is tagging the non-Authors in training data as Authors and how to train NER to identify Authors(I have the list of Author names to train).
Any suggestions for reference material on NER other than nlp.stanford.edu site will be helpful.
That's a very small piece of training data, so I'm not surprised that it made the wrong inferences. Since the only example it has seen of "Atal" is as Author, it's tagging "Atal" as such.
But more so, if you want to discriminate between people listed at the beginning as Author and people listed in the text as 0, Stanford NER is not going to do that. Stanford NER is intended to make long distance inferences about the named-entity tags of tokens in natural language text. In other words, it's doing the opposite of what you're trying to do.
You could probably do this with some simple pattern recognition---if your documents are formatted in a similar way, with the authors together, I would start with exploiting that. You could use the NER to tag the authors as PERSON, and then use that tag as a feature in your own tagging.
I'm using OpenNLP for data classification. I could not find TokenNameFinderModel for disease here. I know I can create my own model but I was wondering is there any large sample training data available for disease?
You can easily create your own training data-set using the modelbuilder addon and follow some rules as mentioned here to train create a good NER model.
you can find some help using modelbuilder addon here.
It is basically, you put all the information in a text file and the NER entities in another. The addon searches for a paticular entity and replace it with the required tag. Hence producing the tagged data. It must be pretty easy to use this tool!
Hope this helps!
I have been trying to use NER feature of NLTK. I want to extract such entities from the articles. I know that it can not be perfect in doing so but I wonder if there is human intervention in between to manually tag NEs, will it improve?
If yes, is it possible with present model in NLTK to continually train the model. (Semi-Supervised Training)
The plain vanilla NER chunker provided in nltk internally uses maximum entropy chunker trained on the ACE corpus. Hence it is not possible to identify dates or time, unless you train it with your own classifier and data(which is quite a meticulous job).
You could refer this link for performing he same.
Also, there is a module called timex in nltk_contrib which might help you with your needs.
If you are interested to perform the same in Java better look into Stanford SUTime, it is a part of Stanford CoreNLP.
