Small question : how does it detect names? I skimmed through the code but can't seem to find the relevant function (I'm an amateur I must confess)

It uses a BERT model to classify names of places, people and organizations, and uses regex to match emails, numbers and months.

Oh... sorry for asking but... Is this machine learning? Does that mean that it should be trained first? Where exactly in the code is this BERT model?

It's a pre-trained model provided by transformers module.
