Flowchart for NER Projects

[polm]

Are you training an NER model? Is this your first model, or are you having trouble getting decent accuracy? If so, check out this flow chart! This covers the whole process of building an NER model, from data collection to error analysis, and will help you avoid common pitfalls. It's written around using Prodigy for annotation, but the general idea is the same even if you're using other tools.

If this is your first time using spaCy or training a model, also be sure to check out the spaCy course, which covers basic library usage and training an NER model.

The flowchart has light and dark versions available.
