Yes, We used ner.manual, we highlighted 1130 strings (either with Primary or Secondary), so they are individual examples, right?
For the pattern file, I was not sure how to " test on individual pattern and try to run it through spaCy to confirm it works?" as you suggested. I did have patter file issue when I was working on it, this is my original post,, the pattern file that i generated from ner.manal returns UnicodeDecodeError everytime I want to use the pattern file in ner.manual for new annotation tasks. After I used the custom recipe for converting, I can used the updated pattern file with ner.manual, but no highlight appears.
I am attaching my original patter file, and updated pattern file for your information.
