Some issues with Competitor Check

[damtrovao]

Maybe I'm not using it right (I'm new to it), but when the name of the competitor is not capitalized, it doesn't recognize it as a competitor. For example: I enter "youtube" as a competitor, and when I'm validating, it only recognizes "Youtube".

Another thing I'm trying to do is redact the name of the competitor from the input string, but neither "fix", "filter" nor "refrain" works. "Fix" just erases the whole String, while "Filter" and "Refrain" sets the String as "None".
Is there a way I can make it change the string from, for example, "I like Youtube" to "I like " or something like it?

Anyways, thank you guys!

Hi @damtrovao could we get an example code snippet to help reproduce the issue?

[damtrovao]

If you change "exception" to "fix" or "filter" on CompetitorCheck configuration, it will print "Output: " or "Output: None"

I'm not able to reproduce the filter or fix behavior, but I am seeing that it looks like theres an underlying issue with the pre-trained model were using to identify entities in the str and this particular string you've provided. str = "If interested, apply at youtube or email me at wer@asdf.com" does identify lowercase youtube correctly.

It really identifies using this string you provided.

With this string, can you show me an example of what the output looks like using filter and fix? Thank you!!

With the on_fail="filter" you will get str.validated_output is None because the output is totally filtered.

With on_fail="fix" you will get str.validated_output omits the sentence that the validator failed on. For example if the validated str="apply at youtube or email me at my email. This is another sentence." then the str.validated_output will be this is another sentence.

We will have updated documentation on this in our next release of 0.5.3 which I'll update this thread with in the next few days.

Oh, I see where's my mistake. Thank you for your help!
