Training a Pipeline FAQ

What kind of data structure is supported?

In training a pipeline through the spacy train command, data must be in either .conllu or .iob format. These formats are then converted to binary in the .spacy format for training.

Can I use custom models?

Yes, spaCy allows for easy integration of custom models in training. You can use custom models in both built-in and custom components. In the config file this would be difined under the components.ner.model block (ner is an example component here), and the python code would be attached via the --code override in the spacy train command.
