Does Spacy supports Relation Detection along with custom NER training?

[Muhammadusmanzafar]

I am looking to train different sentences to extract NER and relation . NER is very well documented and I am able to achieve the results I was looking for in the form of entities. But I also want to detect Relations between those entities and want to train them along with NER .Does space supports this ?

No, spacy doesn't currently support this. It's likely that support will be added in the future, but there's no concrete timeframe right now.

Hi, does it support now?

I'm afraid this is not currently on the planning to include in the core library. With the pre-release of spaCy v3 though, it should become much easier to implement your own custom pipeline components with their custom models. In fact, the documentation for this nightly release outlines the steps required to implement a relation detection algorithm: https://nightly.spacy.io/usage/layers-architectures#component-rel

I'll close this for now as there is no action item for us to follow up on, but wishing you good luck if you do decide to implement this ;-) And if you do - please also consider submitting it to the spaCy universe!

Feel free to open a new issue if you run into specific problems!
