Named Entity Recognition

A Named Entity Recognition (NER) identifies key information in a sentence. These detected entities will also be classified into a category.

English Name Finder

Example

In this example, a pretrained model that is capable of identifying 7 categories is used to “recognize” a sentence.

using UnityEngine;
using Voxell;
using Voxell.NLP.NameFind;
using Voxell.Inspector;

public class NLPNamedEntityRecognition : MonoBehaviour
{
  [StreamingAssetFolderPath] public string nameFinderModel;
  [TextArea(1, 5)] public string sentence;
  public string[] models = new string[]
  { "date", "location", "money", "organization", "percentage", "person", "time" };
  [TextArea(1, 5), InspectOnly] public string ner;

  private EnglishNameFinder nameFinder;

  [Button]
  public void Recognize()
  {
    nameFinder = new EnglishNameFinder(FileUtil.GetStreamingAssetFilePath(nameFinderModel));
    ner = nameFinder.GetNames(models, sentence);
  }
}
