See AI Entity Predictions with spaCy displaCy

The useful part

spaCy displaCy is featured here for one specific job: visualize named-entity predictions. This guide focuses on that workflow so you can decide whether it fits your task before trying it.

What happened in the demo

Meet spaCy displaCy. Here’s our fictional input: Jordan visited London on Monday. Its English model displays colored entity predictions. London gets GPE, a location category, and Monday gets DATE. But Jordan gets GPE too! That ambiguous name is a useful reminder: these are predictions. Use this visualizer to inspect what a language model labels.

The example used in the reel

A small, specific input makes the result easier to inspect. Use the example below to understand the scope of the recorded workflow; it is not a promise that a new run will produce an identical result.

Fictional example: Jordan visited London on Monday.

Try it yourself

1. Enter the example sentence
2. Render the named-entity view
3. Compare each predicted span with its context

Start with material you own or have permission to use. Save the original and compare it with the output before moving the result into a real project. If the interface has changed, follow the current official instructions linked below.

What to check before using the result

Entity labels are predictions. Ambiguous names and domain-specific terms may be misclassified.

Keep the task narrow on your first attempt. Check the details that matter to your use case rather than judging only whether the result looks polished. A successful short example is a useful introduction, not a benchmark of the whole product.
