NER for predefined entities

Question

I'm developing a application to categorize requirements in a requirement specification in to categories like database, front end, back end, etc. Requirement specification is a single document where I want to see the underlying categories in it. Can I use NER to get the categories? Sentences are divided in to categories if they contain certain words that match that particular category.

Example

data should be stored in a secured database.

If we consider above given sentence is a requirement it should be categorized in to database category considering the words it contains (database, data).

To my best of knowledge, NER pre-built tools would not help, but I recommend you to use spaCy. It is a NER tools with state-of-the-art accuracy and support re-train your DL model and customize it. Hope this helps!
