### Demo: How to use in Flair

Requires:

- **[Flair](https://github.com/flairNLP/flair/)>=0.14.0** (`pip install flair` or `pip install git+https://github.com/flairNLP/flair.git`)

```python
from flair.data import Sentence
from flair.nn import Classifier
from flair.tokenization import SciSpacyTokenizer

text = "We found that Egr-1 specifically binds to the PTEN 5' untranslated region, which contains a functional GCGGCGGCG Egr-1-binding site."
sentence = Sentence(text, use_tokenizer=SciSpacyTokenizer())

tagger = Classifier.load("regel-corpus/hunflair2-regel-tfbs")
tagger.predict(sentence)

print('The following NER tags are found:')
# iterate over entities and print
for entity in sentence.get_spans('ner'):
    print(entity)
```
