Hi @Juste, I am trying to extract Bengali names. But Spacy has the entity PERSON which is good for English names though it has some drawbacks. The entity PERSON detects the noun, doesn’t matter if it’s a human name or a Bank name or an animal. which is not tolerable. So, I have decided to use my own entity for extracting the names. But, the problem is it only extracts the example I have trained it with.
Can You tell me if there is any way to extract any person names using the action.py script.?
Hope to hear from you soon.
@Rifat did you read the blogpost mentioned above? In your situation I might recommend using a baby-name list as a starting point.
