The Event Extraction from News Headlines is a Natural Language Processing project that combines Entity recognition pipeline and Entity tagging and export, built with spaCy. The project follows a clean, modular pipeline where text loading, processing, and presentation stay separated, making it easy to test, extend, and present. It showcases practical NLP techniques while producing a working, demo-ready application.
Traditional manual methods for this task are slow, inconsistent, and unable to scale as text data grows. Without an NLP-based approach built on Entity tagging and export and spaCy, users cannot process, classify, or extract meaning from large amounts of text quickly, and there is no reliable way to evaluate the quality of the results.
This project applies NLP techniques through Entity recognition pipeline, orchestrated with spaCy and Entity tagging and export. The pipeline is designed for quality and control, with preprocessing, feature extraction, and clear evaluation. It produces consistent, reusable results and can be adapted to related text tasks with minimal changes.

Modular text pipeline around Entity recognition pipeline and Entity tagging and export
Configurable preprocessing and model settings
Clear logging, metrics, and error handling
Clean interface for viewing results
Reusable components for related NLP tasks
Evaluation of output quality
The project is layered: the input layer loads and preprocesses text through Entity recognition pipeline; the processing layer applies NLP models with spaCy and Entity tagging and export; and the output layer formats and presents results via Annotation interface. Shared configuration, logging, and evaluation modules support all layers, keeping the system robust and easy to extend.
