Case 1. Automatic contract parsing (Legal / CRM)

Entity extraction with Mitie\NER and local model

Install package: composer require ankane/mitie-php. This variant runs local NER with MITIE and extracts contract entities from a longer legal text.

Example of use


                
<?php

include 'code-en.php';

if ($nerError !== null) {
    echo 'Warning: ' . $nerError . PHP_EOL;
    return;
}

echo $text;
echo PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL . '-----------' . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;

if ($entities === []) {
    echo 'No entities found.' . PHP_EOL;
    return;
}

foreach ($entities as $entity) {
    echo ($entity['tag'] ?? '') . ' -> ' . ($entity['text'] ?? '') . PHP_EOL;
}
