With Azure OpenAI
Spacy is the Go-to NER library. With integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into spaCy pipelines, it supports fast prototyping and prompting of turning unstructured into structured output, without training.
Environment variables
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<api key>
export AZURE_OPENAI_KEY=<api key>
llm_ner.cfg
[nlp]
lang = "en"
pipeline = ["llm"]
[components]
[components.llm]
factory = "llm"
[components.llm.task]
@llm_tasks = "spacy.NER.v3"
labels = ["PERSON", "ORGANISATION", "LOCATION"]
[components.llm.model]
@llm_models = "spacy.Azure.v1"
name =
deployment_name =
base_url =
model_type = "chat"
api_version =
config = {"temperature": 0.0 }
Test
from spacy_llm.util import assemble
nlp = assemble("llm_ner.cfg")
content = "Jack and Jill rode up the hill in Les Deux Alpes"
doc = nlp(content)
print([(ent.text, ent.label_) for ent in doc.ents])
Result
[('Jack', 'PERSON'), ('Jill', 'PERSON'), ('Les Deux Alpes', 'LOCATION')]
Langchain integration
For models not directly supported, it is suggested to use langchain support. However, as of 2024.1.30, space-llm only supports langchain.llms (e.g. only openai completion), not chat model (not openai.chat.completion).
