# Flair NER fine-tuned on Private Dataset

```python
from flair.data import Sentence
from flair.models import SequenceTagger
# load tagger
tagger = SequenceTagger.load("Saisam/Inquirer_ner_loc")
# make example sentence
sentence = Sentence("George Washington went to Washington")
# predict NER tags
tagger.predict(sentence)
# print sentence
print(sentence)
# print predicted NER spans
print('The following NER tags are found:')
# iterate over entities and print
for entity in sentence.get_spans('ner'):
    print(entity)
```
