I have a resume data and i want to segment the profile, name, contact, email from the resume. I had perform the spancat annotations from prodigy. and followed the tutorials as in this video

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/xgV3Rlj49lQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Introducing Span Categorization in Prodigy and spaCy") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgV3Rlj49lQ)

I m confused how to inference the spancat models and what to do next as that is not mentioned in the videos. or can you guide me what to do next ? Yes i have the train.spacy and dev.spacy files.

_NOTE_ : I had a resume data as:

```python
{"text": "Name: helen helen E-Mail: helen.helen@gmail.com Address: Hong Kong, Hong Kong Github: https://github.com/helen LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/helen Phone No. 192094070156"}

```

This is the data and how i annotate i will mention as : the whole above text is labelled as : `PROFILE`, and othere as the given labels: `PROFILE_NAME,PROFILE_EMAIL,PROFILE_ADDRESS,PROFILE_PHONE`

Is am i doing something wrong here? Please guide me 🙂 Appreciated

By inference, do you mean training?

Since you have the spacy binary files, I presume you ran `data-to-spacy` like in the [docs](https://prodi.gy/docs/span-categorization#training-spacy):

```bash
$ prodigy data-to-spacy ./corpus --spancat covid_articles

To use this data for training with spaCy, you can run:
python -m spacy train ./corpus/config.cfg --paths.train ./corpus/train.spacy --paths.dev ./corpus/dev.spacy

```

Like the output states, the next step is to run `spacy train`. Did you do that?

Can you describe what steps are confusing?

Well i need to check whether the trained spancat model is performing good or bad

I have trained the model using this command. And got stuck and confused  
what to do next. Can @kushal_pythonist and @ryanwesslen help me through this and provide guidance. ATM I'm I m null about proceeding further. Thanks 🙂
