Hi @ines,

Awesome, big thanks!! I see why things didn’t work out previously… 🙂

After fixing the pattern file, what seems to be the difference between ner.teach and ner.match? Both seems to be performing the same action of matching, isn’t it?

Also, with regards to my previous post ([Domain-specific NER project](https://support.prodi.gy/t/domain-specific-ner-project/1742)), do you have any suggestion to pre-trained healthcare models that can be imported to spaCy? How about the ones in spaCy’s universe?

Thanks once again!
