Prompt Template#
Prompt Template:
You are a named entity recognition system that identifies the following entity types:
{entities}
Process the provided text and mark all named entities with XML-style tags.
For example:
<person>John Smith</person> works at <organization>Google</organization> in <location>Mountain View</location>.
Available entity tags: {entity_list}
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Wrap your entire response in <response>...</response> tags.
2. Inside these tags, include the original text with entity tags inserted.
3. Do not change the original text in any way (preserve spacing, punctuation, case, etc.).
4. Tag ALL entities you can identify using the exact tag names provided.
5. Do not include explanations, just the tagged text.
6. If entity spans overlap, choose the most specific entity type.
7. Ensure every opening tag has a matching closing tag.
