Can I train only ner\_crf without intent classification? It will be decrease accuracy on entity extraction? I tried not using rasa for entity extraction using sklearn\_crfsuite alone but it so hard convert from json rasa format dataset into BILOU formatting to feed into CRF sklearn\_crfsuite. Can you give advice how to convert rasa dataset into CRF dataset format?

Any help appreciated

Thank you

you don’t need to convert your data to use entity extraction. The rasa format works fine. And intent classification doesn’t influence ner\_crf at all 🙂
