doc.ents empty, doc.is_nered == False

[jack-rory-staunton]

I followed the documentation to fine-tune the bert-base-cased (en) ner model and then made a spacy doc with text "Bob Jones and Barack Obama went up the hill in Wisconsin." but the resulting doc has doc.ents = () and doc.is_nered = False.

Am I missing something?

Thank you!

Thanks for reporting and I'm sorry for late to reponse.

I think your trained model failed to extract entities.

According to the spacy document, doc.is_nered is always False if there is no entities in doc.

that's not true! see my screenshot on the closed issue #51

can you show an example where the pipeline recognizes entities?
