| A named entity is a "real-world object" that's assigned a name – for
|
||
| example, a person, a country, a product or a book title. spaCy can
|
||
| #[strong recognise] #[+a("/api/annotation#named-entities") various types]
|
||
| of named entities in a document, by asking the model for a
|
||
| #[strong prediction]. Because models are statistical and strongly depend
|
||
| on the examples they were trained on, this doesn't always work
|
||
| #[em perfectly] and might need some tuning later, depending on your use
|
||
| case.
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| Named entities are available as the #[code ents] property of a #[code Doc]:
|
||
|
||
+code-exec.
