What models are you using? Your problem seems simpler than general NER (just identifying a subset of entities). I would wager a good ol' LSTM or GRU can do it just fine.

Hey! I'm the lead ML engineer behind the solution.

We have trained our custom NER to detect merchants using millions of transactions as training data rather than a general NER.

We have tested with a few general NER models but they weren't detecting merchants properly. We haven't tested with LSTM/GRU yet but that's a good suggestion!

He was asking what algorithm you're using. Are you using a MaxEnt classifier, CRF, something else?
