Description
This is an Entity Resolution / Entity Linking model, which is able to provide Ticker / Trading Symbols using a Company Name as an input. You can use any NER which extracts Organizations / Companies / Parties to then send the output to this Entity Linking model and get the Ticker / Trading Symbol (given the company has one).
Predicted Entities
How to use
documentAssembler = nlp.DocumentAssembler()\
      .setInputCol("text")\
      .setOutputCol("ner_chunk")
embeddings = nlp.UniversalSentenceEncoder.pretrained("tfhub_use", "en") \
      .setInputCols("ner_chunk") \
      .setOutputCol("sentence_embeddings")
    
resolver = finance.SentenceEntityResolverModel.pretrained("finel_names2tickers", "en", "finance/models") \
      .setInputCols(["ner_chunk", "sentence_embeddings"]) \
      .setOutputCol("name")\
      .setDistanceFunction("EUCLIDEAN")
pipelineModel = nlp.Pipeline(
      stages = [
          documentAssembler,
          embeddings,
          resolver])
lp = LightPipeline(pipelineModel)
lp.fullAnnotate("apple")
