            A list of labels to ignore.

            DEPRECATED, use `aggregation_strategy` instead. Whether or not to group the tokens corresponding to the
            same entity together in the predictions or not.
        stride (`int`, *optional*):
            If stride is provided, the pipeline is applied on all the text. The text is split into chunks of size
            model_max_length. Works only with fast tokenizers and `aggregation_strategy` different from `NONE`. The
            value of this argument defines the number of overlapping tokens between chunks. In other words, the model
            will shift forward by `tokenizer.model_max_length - stride` tokens each step.
        aggregation_strategy (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"none"`):
            The strategy to fuse (or not) tokens based on the model prediction.

                - "none" : Will simply not do any aggregation and simply return raw results from the model
                - "simple" : Will attempt to group entities following the default schema. (A, B-TAG), (B, I-TAG), (C,
                  I-TAG), (D, B-TAG2) (E, B-TAG2) will end up being [{"word": ABC, "entity": "TAG"}, {"word": "D",
                  "entity": "TAG2"}, {"word": "E", "entity": "TAG2"}] Notice that two consecutive B tags will end up as
                  different entities. On word based languages, we might end up splitting words undesirably : Imagine
                  Microsoft being tagged as [{"word": "Micro", "entity": "ENTERPRISE"}, {"word": "soft", "entity":
                  "NAME"}]. Look for FIRST, MAX, AVERAGE for ways to mitigate that and disambiguate words (on languages
                  that support that meaning, which is basically tokens separated by a space). These mitigations will
                  only work on real words, "New york" might still be tagged with two different entities.
                - "first" : (works only on word based models) Will use the `SIMPLE` strategy except that words, cannot
                  end up with different tags. Words will simply use the tag of the first token of the word when there
                  is ambiguity.
                - "average" : (works only on word based models) Will use the `SIMPLE` strategy except that words,
                  cannot end up with different tags. scores will be averaged first across tokens, and then the maximum
                  label is applied.
                - "max" : (works only on word based models) Will use the `SIMPLE` strategy except that words, cannot
                  end up with different tags. Word entity will simply be the token with the maximum score.

    This token recognition pipeline can currently be loaded from [`pipeline`] using the following task identifier:
    `"ner"` (for predicting the classes of tokens in a sequence: person, organisation, location or miscellaneous).

    The models that this pipeline can use are models that have been fine-tuned on a token classification task. See the
    up-to-date list of available models on
    [huggingface.co/models](https://huggingface.co/models?filter=token-classification).
