We saw in the previous chapter how we can use spaCy's language pipeline – POS-tagging, which is a very powerful tool, and we will now explore another interesting usage, NER-tagging. We will discuss what exactly this is from both a linguistic and text analysis point of view, as well as detailed examples of its usage, and how to train our own NER-tagger with spaCy. Following are the topics we will cover in this chapter:
- What is NER-tagging?
- NER-tagging in Python
- Training your NER-tagger
- NER-tagging examples and visualization
