❔ Best, most reliable NER (Named Entity Recognition) Library for .NET?

I'm looking for a NER library that is supported with .net framework & .net core.

I do not want to use services like google or azure to do my NER as for my use case it is very mild and I don't want to pay for something so small.

Upon looking at NER libraries, there isn't really a clear direction on the most straightforward to use, reliability and well documented. I'm just looking for a NER library like SpaCy. I know there's SpaCy.NET but don't really know how well it performs as it isn't a full implementation and seems to be dead. Looking for something more maintained.

Overall I am looking for

*something easy to use
*well maintained
*fairly efficient and uses some sort of prediction algorithm to help predict a few things based on context (optional but would prefer)
*one that works in .net core and framework, or just one or the other but in this case framework will be what I am using

The closest so far I have found was Stanford NER but it has so many dependencies so was looking to see if anything better exists. It can be a wrapper to anything as well as long as it's fairly straight forward to use
