SpaCy models aren't trainable

[erip]

Currently the /ner/train endpoint is a noop. It should be straightforward to add an nlp.update call here.

Thank you for your interest! It might be simple, but there are things that need to be taken into account: do you reload the pretrained model from spacy and retrain it always from scratch on your own data? Do you load the spacy model once and then always continue training on it? What happens if you add new tags...

I will deprecate this project soon in favor of the more general https://github.com/inception-project/inception-external-recommender .

Would it be an option to do the update (optionally) and leave the risk/answering those questions to the inclined user?
