Is there a way to remove a particular entity from a knowledge base given their entity id?

Spacy knowledge base

Is there an elegant way to remove an entity from a knowledge base? It looks like you might be able to copy all the existing entities (minus the one to be deleted) to a new kb, but this doesn't seem like an elegant approach, and it doesn't look like it will keep the probabilities of each alias being assigned to each entity.

There's currently not really a method to delete one entity, as it was kind of assumed that a KB is built once and isn't dynamically being changed. Might I ask what's your use-case for removing an entity after construction of the KB?

And yes you're right that if you'd copy the entities over to a new KB, you'd also have to specify the aliases again for each.

Interesting...Thanks for the quick response. The main use case is to handle errors. If a name is entered incorrectly it would be great to remove them without having to do it all again.
