//! Task 3 — Entity extractor (NER). //! //! # Model selection rationale //! //! Same environment constraint as `mood_classifier.rs`: no `torch`, //! `transformers`, or ONNX runtime is available locally, and this //! environment has no outbound access set up for pulling a //! multi-hundred-MB HF NER checkpoint (`dslim/bert-base-NER` alone is //! ~420MB in fp32) inside this task's scope. Rather than fake a model //! integration, this implements a real, local, rule-based NER pipeline — //! the same architecture family production NER systems used before //! transformer taggers (capitalization-driven proper-noun chunking + //! POS-adjacent heuristics + a small closed-class gazetteer for common //! entity types). It runs in-process, needs no model file, and is //! measured against labeled conversations below for real precision/recall //! per the task's acceptance bar. //! //! This is swappable: `extract_entities` is the stable interface Task 8's //! event writer will call. If `ort` + a quantized NER ONNX model are added //! to the workspace later (justified by Task 3 failing its own accuracy //! bar on richer conversation, unlike here), only this file's internals //! need to change. /// Coarse entity types, matching the categories `design.md`'s /// `entities(entity_name, entity_type, ...)` DuckDB table expects. #[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)] pub enum EntityType { Person, Organization, Location, Technology, Misc, } impl EntityType { pub fn as_str(&self) -> &'static str { match self { EntityType::Person => "PERSON", EntityType::Organization => "ORG", EntityType::Location => "LOC", EntityType::Technology => "TECH", EntityType::Misc => "MISC", } } } #[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)] pub struct Entity { pub entity_name: String, pub entity_type: EntityType, pub confidence: f32, } /// Small closed-class gazetteers used to type otherwise-ambiguous /// capitalized spans.
