    💫 Models for the spaCy Natural Language Processing (NLP) library

  • spaCy vs transformers isn't really a good comparison. You can plug a variety of things into spaCy's NLP pipelines, including Huggingface's transformer models. spaCy 3, in particular, has pre-built models with Huggingface's transformers, like en_core_web_trf.

  • flair

    A very simple framework for state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP)

  • For NER, if you don't need the full toolkit of spacy, I'd highly recommend checking out Flair. It will likely run faster than transformer-based models (like en_core_web_trf) and it tends to be one of the best performing approaches to NER.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
