Pre Computed Embeddings (OpenAI) for NER

[eschaffn]

Hi there, I have pre computed vectors for other tasks using openAI embeddings and these are available to me in a database. I was wondering if Spacy can be used to run NER on these, and whether it would degrade performance (does spacy's trained transformer generate embeddings more suited for NER somehow?).

Additionally, if I want to do additional fine tuning of the NER classifier model, is this possible without also training the transformer? Does the transformer even get adjusted during the fine-tuning of NER pipelines?

Thanks in advance!
