Description
Pretrained named entity recognition deep learning model for Drugs. The model combines dosage, strength, form, and route into a single entity: Drug. The SparkNLP deep learning model (NerDL) is inspired by a former state of the art model for NER: Chiu & Nicols, Named Entity Recognition with Bidirectional LSTM-CNN.

How to use
Use as part of an nlp pipeline with the following stages: DocumentAssembler, SentenceDetector, Tokenizer, WordEmbeddingsModel, NerDLModel. Add the NerConverter to the end of the pipeline to convert entity tokens into full entity chunks.
documentAssembler = DocumentAssembler()\
.setInputCol("text")\
.setOutputCol("document")
sentenceDetector = SentenceDetector()\
.setInputCols(["document"])\
.setOutputCol("sentence")
tokenizer = Tokenizer()\
.setInputCols(["sentence"])\
.setOutputCol("token")
# Clinical word embeddings trained on PubMED dataset
word_embeddings = WordEmbeddingsModel.pretrained("embeddings_clinical", "en", "clinical/models")\
.setInputCols(["sentence", "token"])\
.setOutputCol("embeddings")
clinical_ner = NerDLModel.pretrained("ner_drugs_large", "en", "clinical/models") \
.setInputCols(["sentence", "token", "embeddings"]) \
.setOutputCol("ner")
ner_converter = NerConverter() \
.setInputCols(["sentence", "token", "ner"]) \
.setOutputCol("ner_chunk")
nlpPipeline = Pipeline(stages=[document_assembler, sentence_detector, tokenizer, word_embeddings, clinical_ner, ner_converter])
model = nlpPipeline.fit(spark.createDataFrame(["The patient is a 40-year-old white male who presents with a chief complaint of "chest pain".

Results
The output is a dataframe with a sentence per row and a "ner" column containing all of the entity labels in the sentence, entity character indices, and other metadata.
