Does diet use entities from spacy/duckling as features or is it independent of those?

Is it OK to put spacy/duckling after the diet step?

Yes it’s fine, entity extraction can be done in any order.

But may I ask why you want to change the order?

  1. Spacy is better for PERSON than my DIET model with current data. However spacy is not perfect. sometimes diet picks up a person that spacy missed. If both pick up the person I want the spacy one. According to the docs the latest entity fills the slot so I want the best one last e.g. spacy for PERSON.
  2. I can add extra training examples to diet easier than retraining spacy.
  3. I already have entities in my diet training data. It is not so easy to remove them and put them back.
