Extracts predefined entities out of a piece of text.
Module named_entity_extractor
NamedEntityExtractorBackend
NLP backend to use for Named Entity Recognition.
HUGGING_FACE
Uses an Hugging Face model and pipeline.
SPACY
Uses a spaCy model and pipeline.
NamedEntityExtractorBackend.from_str
@staticmethod
def from_str(string: str) -> "NamedEntityExtractorBackend"
Convert a string to a NamedEntityExtractorBackend enum.
NamedEntityAnnotation
Describes a single NER annotation.
Arguments:
entity: Entity label.start: Start index of the entity in the document.end: End index of the entity in the document.score: Score calculated by the model.
NamedEntityExtractor
Annotates named entities in a collection of documents.
The component supports two backends: Hugging Face and spaCy. The former can be used with any sequence classification model from the Hugging Face model hub, while the latter can be used with any spaCy model that contains an NER component. Annotations are stored as metadata in the documents.
Usage example:
from haystack import Document
from haystack.components.extractors.named_entity_extractor import NamedEntityExtractor
documents = [
Document(content="I'm Merlin, the happy pig!"),
Document(content="My name is Clara and I live in Berkeley, California."),
]
extractor = NamedEntityExtractor(backend="hugging_face", model="dslim/bert-base-NER")
extractor.warm_up()
results = extractor.run(documents=documents)["documents"]
annotations = [NamedEntityExtractor.get_stored_annotations(doc) for doc in results]
print(annotations)
NamedEntityExtractor.__init__
def __init__(
*,
backend: Union[str, NamedEntityExtractorBackend],
model: str,
pipeline_kwargs: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
device: Optional[ComponentDevice] = None,
token: Optional[Secret] = Secret.from_env_var(["HF_API_TOKEN", "HF_TOKEN"],

) -> None
Create a Named Entity extractor component.
Arguments:
backend: Backend to use for NER.model: Name of the model or a path to the model on the local disk. Dependent on the backend.pipeline_kwargs: Keyword arguments passed to the pipeline. The pipeline can override these arguments. Dependent on the backend.device: The device on which the model is loaded. IfNone, the default device is automatically selected. If a device/device map is specified inpipeline_kwargs, it overrides this parameter (only applicable to the HuggingFace backend).token: The API token to download private models from Hugging Face.
NamedEntityExtractor.warm_up
def warm_up()

Raises:
ComponentError: If the backend fails to initialize successfully.
NamedEntityExtractor.run

Arguments:
documents: Documents to process.batch_size: Batch size used for processing the documents.
Raises:
ComponentError: If the backend fails to process a document.
Returns:
Processed documents.
NamedEntityExtractor.to_dict
def to_dict() -> Dict[str, Any]
Serializes the component to a dictionary.
Returns:
Dictionary with serialized data.
NamedEntityExtractor.from_dict
@classmethod
def from_dict(cls, data: Dict[str, Any]) -> "NamedEntityExtractor"
Deserializes the component from a dictionary.
Arguments:
data: Dictionary to deserialize from.
Returns:
Deserialized component.
NamedEntityExtractor.initialized
@property
def initialized() -> bool
Returns if the extractor is ready to annotate text.
NamedEntityExtractor.get_stored_annotations
@classmethod
def get_stored_annotations(
cls, document: Document) -> Optional[List[NamedEntityAnnotation]]
Returns the document's named entity annotations stored in its metadata, if any.
Arguments:
document: Document whose annotations are to be fetched.
Returns:
The stored annotations.
Module llm_metadata_extractor
LLMProvider
Currently LLM providers supported by LLMMetadataExtractor.
LLMProvider.from_str
@staticmethod
def from_str(string: str) -> "LLMProvider"
Convert a string to a LLMProvider enum.
LLMMetadataExtractor
Extracts metadata from documents using a Large Language Model (LLM).
The metadata is extracted by providing a prompt to an LLM that generates the metadata.
This component expects as input a list of documents and a prompt. The prompt should have a variable called
document that will point to a single document in the list of documents. So to access the content of the document,
you can use {{ document.content }} in the prompt.
The component will run the LLM on each document in the list and extract metadata from the document. The metadata
will be added to the document's metadata field. If the LLM fails to extract metadata from a document, the document
will be added to the failed_documents list. The failed documents will have the keys metadata_extraction_error and
metadata_extraction_response in their metadata. These documents can be re-run with another extractor to
extract metadata by using the metadata_extraction_response and metadata_extraction_error in the prompt.

-Goal-
Given text and a list of entity types, identify all entities of those types from the text.
-Steps-
1. Identify all entities. For each identified entity, extract the following information:
- entity_name: Name of the entity, capitalized
- entity_type: One of the following types: [organization, product, service, industry]
Format each entity as a JSON like: {"entity": <entity_name>, "entity_type": <entity_type>}
2. Return output in a single list with all the entities identified in steps 1.
-Examples-
######################
Example 1:
entity_types: [organization, person, partnership, financial metric, product, service, industry, investment strategy, market trend]
text: Another area of strength is our co-brand issuance. Visa is the primary network partner for eight of the top
10 co-brand partnerships in the US today and we are pleased that Visa has finalized a multi-year extension of
our successful credit co-branded partnership with Alaska Airlines, a portfolio that benefits from a loyal customer
base and high cross-border usage.
We have also had significant co-brand momentum in CEMEA. First, we launched a new co-brand card in partnership
with Qatar Airways, British Airways and the National Bank of Kuwait. Second, we expanded our strong global
Marriott relationship to launch Qatar's first hospitality co-branded card with Qatar Islamic Bank. Across the
United Arab Emirates, we now have exclusive agreements with all the leading airlines marked by a recent
agreement with Emirates Skywards.
And we also signed an inaugural Airline co-brand agreement in Morocco with Royal Air Maroc. Now newer digital
issuers are equally

def run(documents: List[Document],
page_range: Optional[List[Union[str, int]]] = None)
Extract metadata from documents using a Large Language Model.
If page_range is provided, the metadata will be extracted from the specified range of pages. This component
will split the documents into pages and extract metadata from the specified range of pages. The metadata will be
extracted from the entire document if page_range is not provided.
The original documents will be returned updated with the extracted metadata.
Arguments:
documents: List of documents to extract metadata from.page_range: A range of pages to extract metadata from. For example, page_range=['1', '3'] will extract metadata from the first and third pages of each document. It also accepts printable range strings, e.g.: ['1-3', '5', '8', '10-12'] will extract metadata from pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12. If None, metadata will be extracted from the entire document for each document in the documents list.
Returns:
A dictionary with the keys:
- "documents": A list of documents that were successfully updated with the extracted metadata.
- "failed_documents": A list of documents that failed to extract metadata. These documents will have "metadata_extraction_error" and "metadata_extraction_response" in their metadata. These documents can be re-run with the extractor to extract metadata.
