title: How to get spaCy NER probability
body: <p>I want to combine spaCy's NER engine with a separate NER engine (a BoW model). I'm currently comparing outputs from the two engines, trying to figure out what the optimal combination of the two would be. Both perform decently, but quite often spaCy finds entities that the BoW engine misses, and vice versa. What I would like is to access a probability score (or something similar) from spaCy whenever it finds an entity that is not found by the BoW engine. Can I get spaCy to print out its own probability score for a given entity it has found? As in, "Hi, I'm spaCy. I've found this token (or combination of tokens) that I'm X% certain is an entity of type BLAH." I want to know that number X every time spaCy finds an entity. I imagine there must be such a number somewhere internally in spaCy's NER engine, plus a threshold value below which the possible entity is not flagged as an entity, and I'd like to know how to get my hands on that number. Thanks in advance.</p>
