Spacy NER

The node assigns named entity tags to the words of the document.

Most models use the SPACY_NE tag set but some models might have additional tags. In such a case a dynamic tag set is created for the model whose tag type is SPACY_NE_model where model is the name of the model (as displayed in the Spacy Model Selector node) followed by its version.

Not all models provide this functionality. If a model doesn't provide it, a corresponding error is displayed upon configuration of the node.

Options

Replace column: If checked, the document column will be replaced by the new preprocessed documents. Otherwise the preprocessed documents will be appended as a new column.
