Flair is a Python NLP framework built on PyTorch for state-of-the-art natural language processing tasks such as named entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging, sentiment analysis, and text classification. It also serves as a text embedding library, letting users combine word and document embeddings including its own Flair embeddings and transformer models.

Use cases

• extract named entities from text
• train a custom NER model
• tag part-of-speech in sentences
• classify text sentiment
• compute word and document embeddings
• run NLP on biomedical texts
• fine-tune transformer models for sequence labeling

When to choose

• you need ready-to-use state-of-the-art NER or tagging models in Python
• you want a simple PyTorch-based API to train custom sequence labeling models
• you need multilingual NLP support or biomedical text models
• you want to combine multiple embedding types easily

When to avoid

• you need a lightweight production inference server rather than a training framework
• you prefer lower-level control over model internals than the framework abstraction allows
• your project is not Python/PyTorch based
