Integrate Entity Ruler with Span Marker model

[ralucaginga]

Hi. I would like to mix up both the Span Marker model with Spacy integration(https://spacy.io/universe/project/span_marker) and the entity ruler (to add some custom patterns), similar like in the code from below.

`
import spacy
import de_dep_news_trf

nlp = de_dep_news_trf.load()

patterns = [{"label": "PERIOD", "pattern": [{"LOWER": "monat"}]},
{"label": "PER", "pattern": "Raluca"},
{"label": "COLOR", "pattern": [{"LOWER": "blau"}]},
{"label": "JOBTITLE", "pattern": [{"LOWER" : {"REGEX": ".(referent)."}}]}
]

ruler = nlp.add_pipe("entity_ruler")
ruler.add_patterns(patterns)

span_marker_ruler = nlp.add_pipe('span_marker', config={"model": "tomaarsen/span-marker-mbert-base-multinerd"}, name='span_marker_ruler')

doc = nlp("Raluca ist referent, er mag die Farbe Blau und geht jeden Monat in die Berge.")

print([(ent.text, ent.label_) for ent in doc.ents])
`
Unfortunately, this mix doesn't work properly.

I would expect however an output like this

[('Raluca', 'PER'), ('referent', 'JOBTITLE'), ('Blau', 'COLOR'), ('Monat', 'PERIOD')]
How to integrate entity ruler (with add of some customized entities and patterns) with the Span Marker model?

Hi @ralucaginga, have you tried running the entity ruler after SpanMarker?
