Incremental training of Spacy NER.

[baivabdash]

Hi,
I have trained a NER model on a bunch of data and have deployed the model. Now after a month, I will be having new data. So in that case can I do incremental training of the model only on the new data or would I have to retrain the model with entire (old and new) data ?
P.S: I am having text from the pages of pdf as training data.

We generally recommend training from scratch to avoid catastrophic forgetting.

Okay, so there is no way that I can do incremental training using spacy. Thanks for your quick response.

That's not correct - it's possible, but in most cases retraining works better. Please look at the related FAQ entries.
