Deterministic? Not anything that is "one size fits all". If your documents are of an unpredictable shape, then ML is your best bet. For both NER and QA, BERT models are very capable. To your first question, most of my ML work is proprietary, unfortunately. I am hoping to change that in the near future. Edit: spaCy is a great library for NER, if you're hoping for an open-source solution that can have you hitting the ground quickly. SQuAD for QA.
