NER threshold #573

Closed torava closed 5 years ago

torava commented 5 years ago

Some libraries like node-nlp allow defining detection threshold for NER. For instance spederman can be matched as spiderman. Is it possible in compromise because in some cases it can be too strict?

hi @torava yes, we make the assumption that the text is always correct. maybe this should be added to the docs somewhere. .topics() will return only people+places+organizations.
