These default data patterns can be used to filter table entries for further classification. Data Discovery supports using a Named Entity Recognition \(NER\) model to discover data, such as names, organizations, nationalities, and political affiliations. Data patterns with the type **Model** use this feature. The following table details the default regular expression patterns for data discovery.
