Support for span categorizer?

See original GitHub issue

Is it possible to visualize spancat predictions via spacy-streamlit yet? Either directly or by customizing one of the existing visualizers? I haven’t been able to find any examples of this.

Yes, it’s fine to leave it open as a potential enhancement.

I don’t think so. Spancat introduces some hard cases, like crossing annotations or arbitrarily nested spans, that would need a different visualization strategy than NER.

If you have non-overlapping spans or some way to select a non-overlapping subset, you could copy them to doc.ents and use the NER visualization.
