Implementing Hearst Patterns with SpaCy

In this article, I will mostly concentrate on the Hearst patterns, implementation and usage for hypernym extraction. However, I will use Named Entity Recognition (NER) and a dataset of patents; so I recommend checking my previous post in this cycle. Why do we care about patterns in the context of NLP? Because they significantly reduce and simplifies work, basically, it is a simple model. Despite being in the era of Transformer Neural Networks, patterns still can be beneficial.
