Found Entity Experiencer | emtelligent Documentation

The experiencer attribute of found entities specifies who experienced the given found entity; e.g. ‘patient’, ‘father’, ‘mother’.

Example NLP API result file:

Specifically, the following snippet from the file contains the new experiencer field.

Changes

Python API

There is a new attribute: experiencer. When returned by the NLP API this will can have arbitrary string values (it may also be None if not returned by the NLP API).

Schema changes

The experiencer attribute is stored in the foundentity table in a new column.

The schema of that table now looks like (for PostgreSQL):

                                        Table "public.foundentity"
     Column      |          Type          | Collation | Nullable |                 Default
