EntityRuler with blank spaCy model

EntityRuler lets you to add entities to doc.ents. It can be combined with EntityRecognizer, a spaCy pipeline component for named-entity recognition, to boost accuracy, or used on its own to implement a purely rule-based entity recognition system. In this exercise, you will practice adding an EntityRuler component to a blank spaCy English model and classify named entities of the given text using purely rule-based named-entity recognition.

The spaCy package is already imported and a blank spaCy English model is ready for your use as nlp. A list of patterns to classify lower cased OpenAI and Microsoft as ORG is already created for your use.
