//! # Named Entity Recognition pipeline
//! Extracts entities (Person, Location, Organization, Miscellaneous) from text.
//! BERT cased large model finetuned on CoNNL03, contributed by the [MDZ Digital Library team at the Bavarian State Library](https://github.com/dbmdz)
//! All resources for this model can be downloaded using the Python utility script included in this repository.
//! 1. Set-up a Python virtual environment and install dependencies (in ./requirements.txt)
//! 2. Run the conversion script python /utils/download-dependencies_bert_ner.py.
//! The dependencies will be downloaded to the user's home directory, under ~/rustbert/bert-ner
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use rust_bert::pipelines::ner::NERModel;
//!# fn main() -> failure::Fallible<()> {
//! let ner_model = NERModel::new(Default::default())?;
//!
//! let input = [
//!     "My name is Amy. I live in Paris.",
//!     "Paris is a city in France."
//! ];
//! let output = ner_model.predict(&input);
//!# Ok(())
//!# }
//! ```
//! Output: \
