Training NER into TextCat using a single Dataset.

[DylanBrianBenton]

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to train a NER and Textcat component from the one set of training data and have the NER component feed the textcat downstream if a certain entity is found?

What's the best way to use a single transformer for these? Run it sequentially or have the components parallel to feed one another. I've added the image below to illustrate what I'm thinking.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
