Same with Wikineural - it's a great project, but falls under "prior art". We have our own custom datasets / models / code for NER as well.

Prove it.

Edit: to be clear i'm not buying this for a second. Your 1st demo produces the exact same output as Babelscape/wikineural-multilingual-ner demo. If you built off of their model you need to abide by their license of non-commercial use and share-alike. I think you're a bad actor and I can't believe HN is leaving this up. Your company name also has negative implications: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg

So, er, how exactly would I prove it? Do you want me to share our code / db / etc we've worked on for past ~two years? :)

For one - how many wikidata classes exactly do you get from Wikineural? If I remember correctly, it can do four (person, location, organization, other). Our models do several thousands.

It'll likely annotate similar things in text since our model is also transformers-based (which is basically current state of art) - can't really do anything about that.

edit: phrasing.

Yes? I think my stance is very clear. It appears that you have forked some opensource models and built proprietary software off of them which you are now trying to profit, against their licenses.
