Latin NER unavailable

#3

Hello! I submitted a thread yesterday as I've been experimenting with this model for Latin NER, and I noticed that the NER process for Latin gets an unimplemented algorithm exception and that in the source code, the path to the Latin NER model has been commented out (https://github.com/cltk/cltk/issues/1160). I wanted to ask about the status of the model and whether there is still a way to use the LatinCy NER model (the PR seems to imply pip installing a tar.gz file directly). Thank you!!

P.S. For context, I am a student at Harvard working on a senior thesis, still in early stages but as of now hoping to build a reading interface that uses NER to visualize linked and disambiguated entities. I'd be grateful for the opportunity to learn more about these models and other CS/Classics research related to this project!

Thank you for the issue—the LatinCy NER component works when directly called through the spaCy pipeline (cf. https://diyclassics.github.io/latincy-book/4_key-annotations.html). If it is not working when called as part of a CLTK process, I would recommend opening an issue there (or perhaps better adding to the existing 1160 issue).
