@swatijibhkatesj As per knowledge, VowpalWabbit does not have built-in support for NER specifically, but it is possible to use VW for NER by transforming the NER problem into a multi-class classification problem. We can represent the input text as features and use labels to indicate the entity types for each token.

The closest thing would be this POS tagger https://github.com/hal3/vowpal_wabbit/blob/master/python/examples/Learning_to_Search.ipynb

Not exactly a NER but you can tag nouns.
