How to use

documentAssembler = nlp.DocumentAssembler()\
        .setInputCol("text")\
        .setOutputCol("document")

tokenizer = nlp.Tokenizer()\
        .setInputCols(["document"])\
        .setOutputCol("token")

embeddings = nlp.BertEmbeddings.pretrained("bert_embeddings_sec_bert_base","en") \
        .setInputCols(["document", "token"]) \
        .setOutputCol("embeddings")

ner_model = legal.NerModel.pretrained("legner_orgs_prods_alias", "en", "legal/models")\
        .setInputCols(["document", "token", "embeddings"])\
        .setOutputCol("ner")

ner_converter = nlp.NerConverter()\
        .setInputCols(["document","token","ner"])\
        .setOutputCol("ner_chunk")

reDL = legal.RelationExtractionDLModel()\
    .pretrained("legre_org_prod_alias", "en", "legal/models")\
    .setPredictionThreshold(0.1)\
    .setInputCols(["ner_chunk", "document"])\
    .setOutputCol("relations")

nlpPipeline = nlp.Pipeline(stages=[
        documentAssembler,
        tokenizer,
        embeddings,
        ner_model,
        ner_converter,

empty_data = spark.createDataFrame([[""]]).toDF("text")

model = nlpPipeline.fit(empty_data)
