Production-Ready Machine Learning NLP API with FastAPI and spaCy - KDnuggets

FastAPI is a new Python API framework that is more and more used in production today. We are using FastAPI under the hood behind NLP Cloud. NLP Cloud is an API based on spaCy and HuggingFace transformers in order to propose Named Entity Recognition (NER), sentiment analysis, text classification, summarization, and much more. FastAPI helped us quickly build a fast and robust machine learning API serving NLP models. Let me tell you why we made such a choice, and show you how to implement an API based on FastAPI and spaCy for Named Entity Recognition (NER).
