No Resolutions support for named entity recognition

Question

No Resolutions support for named entity recognition

Kaushal Shastri 25

Using the cognitive services NER Quickstart I am testing a sentence such as "This is 5mm in length". Although it resolves to Quantity category, there is no resolutions support to indicate unit of mm and value of 5. Documentation indicates this should be supported. Not sure what I am missing.

Hi @Kaushal Shastri , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Are you talking about the Entity Resolution for NER. If yes, then please make sure the supported API version.

Entity resolution responses are only supported starting from api-version=2022-10-01-preview and "modelVersion": "2022-10-01-preview".

Could you explain how you're trying in your end? Please provide us more information, such as whether you're using SDK or Rest API, as well as version information, to help us better understand your situation.

I tried the Extract Named Entities using Language Studio and it's working me. Chosen the Model version: "2022-10-01-preview" and enter your test data and it works.

I hope this helps.

Thank you Vasavi. Yes it works with the rest API. I am using the SDK and I had to upgrade to version 5.3.0 beta 1. However when using this SDK it seems that modelversion property is not used even if I provide the version in Options. RawResponse still shows the older model.

var options = new TextAnalyticsClientOptions(TextAnalyticsClientOptions.ServiceVersion.V2022_10_01_Preview); var client = new TextAnalyticsClient(endpoint, credentials, options); var response = client.RecognizeEntities(text, "en");

Hi @Kaushal Shastri , Thanks for sharing that with us.

As I mentioned earlier, entity resolutions are supported only in api-version=2022-10-01-preview and "modelVersion": "2022-10-01-preview". So, we need to request the modelVersion: 2022-10-01-preview in SDK to get the Entity resolution in the response.

I'm following the sample code. The below modelversion code is added to the Request option object.

TextAnalyticsRequestOptions options = new() { IncludeStatistics = true };
options.ModelVersion= "2022-10-01-preview";
Response<RecognizeEntitiesResultCollection> response = client.RecognizeEntitiesBatch(documents, options:options);
RecognizeEntitiesResultCollection entitiesInDocuments = response.Value;

Please keep in mind that there are various types of Resolutions. LengthResolution is used here to outline your example.


foreach (BaseResolution resolution in entity.Resolutions){
                    if(resolution is LengthResolution lengthResolution)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine($"      Unit: {lengthResolution.Unit} ");
                        Console.WriteLine($"      Value: {lengthResolution.Value} ");
                    }
}

Then the Output looks something like this:

I hope this helps.

KaushalShastri Glad to hear that. You can try using SDK also as suggested above.
