    """Create a transition-based EntityRecognizer component. The entity recognizer
    identifies non-overlapping labelled spans of tokens.

    The transition-based algorithm used encodes certain assumptions that are
    effective for "traditional" named entity recognition tasks, but may not be
    a good fit for every span identification problem. Specifically, the loss
    function optimizes for whole entity accuracy, so if your inter-annotator
    agreement on boundary tokens is low, the component will likely perform poorly
    on your problem. The transition-based algorithm also assumes that the most
    decisive information about your entities will be close to their initial tokens.
    If your entities are long and characterised by tokens in their middle, the
    component will likely do poorly on your task.

    model (Model): The model for the transition-based parser. The model needs
        to have a specific substructure of named components --- see the
        spacy.ml.tb_framework.TransitionModel for details.
    moves (list[str]): A list of transition names. Inferred from the data if not
        provided.
    update_with_oracle_cut_size (int):
        During training, cut long sequences into shorter segments by creating
        intermediate states based on the gold-standard history. The model is
        not very sensitive to this parameter, so you usually won't need to change
        it. 100 is a good default.
