## Description

Flair is a natural language processing framework for training and applying models for sequence labeling and text classification. It provides a system for generating word embeddings and identifying semantic entities within text.

The framework includes a dedicated system for zero and few-shot learning, enabling text classification and entity extraction using minimal training examples by leveraging pre-trained knowledge.

Its capabilities cover named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and the training of specialized models using custom datasets. It also includes tooling for the visual highlighting of identified entities for analysis.
