How to add the source of custom trained ner component?

Hi, I am trying to create an entity + sentiment analysis project. I have a custom trained NER component. I need to add the source of this custom trained NER component into my other spacy pipeline. I tried going through the documentation but don't understand what exactly should I include in the config file in the source = ${paths.ner_model} section:

[components.ner]
factory = "ner"
source = ${paths.ner_model}
incorrect_spans_key = null
moves = null
scorer = {"@scorers":"spacy.ner_scorer.v1"}
update_with_oracle_cut_size = 100

I have trained and obtained the model_best and model_last, saved in the specified folder. Do I have to add a custom factory name to my custom NER model in the config file and add that to my second pipeline?

Hello,
If you haven't renamed the NER component in your trained model, you can source the component this way:

[components.ner]
source = ${paths.ner_model}

If you renamed the NER component then you'll need to add the component variable (not factory)

[components.ner]
component = "<component name>"
source = ${paths.ner_model}

For the ${paths.ner_model} variable you have to set the path to either model-best or model-last directory
