• StanfordNER
• CoNLL^a
• Single-Line^b
• xml: TODO (add example)
• inlineXML: TODO (add example)
• tsv: TODO (add example)
• slashTags: TODO (add example)

• ^a

See davidsbatista/NER-Evaluation#13

[ivyleavedtoadflax]

See https://universaldependencies.org/format.html for CoNLL format.

[ivyleavedtoadflax]

There is an implementation of CoNLL to spacy here: explosion/spaCy#533 (comment) which should be easy to adapt to the prodigy format now used by nervaluate.

@davidsbatista I've merged this into #3 so will close this here for now.

[ivyleavedtoadflax]

Ok - will close the correct issue this time!

I would love to see the Flair output compatible with this library.

Thanks @gunturbudi for the suggestion. I'd love to know more if you are currently using this package and what your use cases might be. We are just kicking off some development on it.

Hi, we are conducting an experiment on NER for informal medical phrases. Since Flair library did not provide a complete evaluation, we really glad we found this package :)
