💫 Update website (#3285) <!--- Provide a general summary of your changes in the title. --> ## Description The new website is implemented using [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.org) with [Remark](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark) and [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/). This allows authoring content in **straightforward Markdown** without the usual limitations. Standard elements can be overwritten with powerful [React](http://reactjs.org/) components and wherever Markdown syntax isn't enough, JSX components can be used. Hopefully, this update will also make it much easier to contribute to the docs. Once this PR is merged, I'll implement auto-deployment via [Netlify](https://netlify.com) on a specific branch (to avoid building the website on every PR). There's a bunch of other cool stuff that the new setup will allow us to do – including writing front-end tests, service workers, offline support, implementing a search and so on. This PR also includes various new docs pages and content. Resolves #3270. Resolves #3222. Resolves #2947. Resolves #2837. ### Types of change enhancement ## Checklist <!--- Before you submit the PR, go over this checklist and make sure you can tick off all the boxes. [] -> [x] --> - [x] I have submitted the spaCy Contributor Agreement. - [x] I ran the tests, and all new and existing tests passed. - [x] My changes don't require a change to the documentation, or if they do, I've added all required information.

## Text processing {#text-processing}
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> from spacy.lang.en import English
> nlp = English()
> tokens = nlp(u"Some\\nspaces and\\ttab characters")
> tokens_text = [t.text for t in tokens]
> assert tokens_text == ["Some", "\\n", "spaces", " ", "and", "\\t", "tab", "characters"]
> ```
Tokenization standards are based on the
[OntoNotes 5](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2013T19) corpus. The tokenizer
differs from most by including **tokens for significant whitespace**. Any
sequence of whitespace characters beyond a single space (`' '`) is included as a
token. The whitespace tokens are useful for much the same reason punctuation is
– it's often an important delimiter in the text. By preserving it in the token
output, we are able to maintain a simple alignment between the tokens and the
original string, and we ensure that **no information is lost** during
processing.
### Lemmatization {#lemmatization}
> #### Examples
>
> In English, this means:
>
> - **Adjectives**: happier, happiest → happy
> - **Adverbs**: worse, worst → badly
> - **Nouns**: dogs, children → dog, child
> - **Verbs**: writes, writing, wrote, written → write
A lemma is the uninflected form of a word. The English lemmatization data is
taken from [WordNet](https://wordnet.princeton.edu). Lookup tables are taken
from [Lexiconista](http://www.lexiconista.com/datasets/lemmatization/). spaCy
also adds a **special case for pronouns**: all pronouns are lemmatized to the
special token `-PRON-`.
<Infobox title="About spaCy's custom pronoun lemma" variant="warning">
Unlike verbs and common nouns, there's no clear base form of a personal pronoun.
Should the lemma of "me" be "I", or should we normalize person as well, giving
"it" — or maybe "he"? spaCy's solution is to introduce a novel symbol, `-PRON-`,
which is used as the lemma for all personal pronouns.
</Infobox>
### Sentence boundary detection {#sentence-boundary}
Sentence boundaries are calculated from the syntactic parse tree, so features
such as punctuation and capitalization play an important but non-decisive role
in determining the sentence boundaries. Usually this means that the sentence
boundaries will at least coincide with clause boundaries, even given poorly
punctuated text.
## Part-of-speech tagging {#pos-tagging}
> #### Tip: Understanding tags
>
> You can also use `spacy.explain` to get the description for the string
> representation of a tag. For example, `spacy.explain("RB")` will return
> "adverb".
This section lists the fine-grained and coarse-grained part-of-speech tags
assigned by spaCy's [models](/models). The individual mapping is specific to the
training corpus and can be defined in the respective language data's
[`tag_map.py`](/usage/adding-languages#tag-map).

spaCy also maps all language-specific part-of-speech tags to a small, fixed set
of word type tags following the
[Universal Dependencies scheme](http://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/). The
universal tags don't code for any morphological features and only cover the word
type. They're available as the [`Token.pos`](/api/token#attributes) and
[`Token.pos_`](/api/token#attributes) attributes.
| POS | Description | Examples |
| ------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `ADJ` | adjective | big, old, green, incomprehensible, first |
| `ADP` | adposition | in, to, during |
| `ADV` | adverb | very, tomorrow, down, where, there |
| `AUX` | auxiliary | is, has (done), will (do), should (do) |
| `CONJ` | conjunction | and, or, but |
| `CCONJ` | coordinating conjunction | and, or, but |
| `DET` | determiner | a, an, the |
| `INTJ` | interjection | psst, ouch, bravo, hello |
| `NOUN` | noun | girl, cat, tree, air, beauty |
| `NUM` | numeral | 1, 2017, one, seventy-seven, IV, MMXIV |
| `PART` | particle | 's, not, |
| `PRON` | pronoun | I, you, he, she, myself, themselves, somebody |
| `PROPN` | proper noun | Mary, John, London, NATO, HBO |
| `PUNCT` | punctuation | ., (, ), ? |
| `SCONJ` | subordinating conjunction | if, while, that |
| `SYM` | symbol | \$, %, §, ©, +, −, ×, ÷, =, :), 😝 |

Models trained on the [OntoNotes 5](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2013T19)
corpus support the following entity types:
| Type | Description |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `PERSON` | People, including fictional. |

| `LOC` | Non-GPE locations, mountain ranges, bodies of water. |
| `PRODUCT` | Objects, vehicles, foods, etc. (Not services.) |
| `EVENT` | Named hurricanes, battles, wars, sports events, etc. |
| `WORK_OF_ART` | Titles of books, songs, etc. |
| `LAW` | Named documents made into laws. |
| `LANGUAGE` | Any named language. |

Models trained on Wikipedia corpus
([Nothman et al., 2013](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0004370212000276))
use a less fine-grained NER annotation scheme and recognise the following
entities:
| Type | Description |
| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `PER` | Named person or family. |
| `LOC` | Name of politically or geographically defined location (cities, provinces, countries, international regions, bodies of water, mountains). |
| `ORG` | Named corporate, governmental, or other organizational entity. |
| `MISC` | Miscellaneous entities, e.g. events, nationalities, products or works of art. |
### IOB Scheme {#iob}
| Tag | ID | Description |
| ----- | --- | ------------------------------------- |
| `"I"` | `1` | Token is inside an entity. |
| `"O"` | `2` | Token is outside an entity. |
| `"B"` | `3` | Token begins an entity. |
| `""` | `0` | No entity tag is set (missing value). |
### BILUO Scheme {#biluo}
| Tag | Description |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **`B`**EGIN | The first token of a multi-token entity. |
| **`I`**N | An inner token of a multi-token entity. |
| **`L`**AST | The final token of a multi-token entity. |
| **`U`**NIT | A single-token entity. |
| **`O`**UT | A non-entity token. |

spaCy translates the character offsets into this scheme, in order to decide the
cost of each action given the current state of the entity recogniser. The costs
are then used to calculate the gradient of the loss, to train the model. The
exact algorithm is a pastiche of well-known methods, and is not currently
described in any single publication. The model is a greedy transition-based
parser guided by a linear model whose weights are learned using the averaged
perceptron loss, via the

strategy. The transition system is equivalent to the BILUO tagging scheme.
💫 Update website (#3285) <!--- Provide a general summary of your changes in the title. --> ## Description The new website is implemented using [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.org) with [Remark](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark) and [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/). This allows authoring content in **straightforward Markdown** without the usual limitations. Standard elements can be overwritten with powerful [React](http://reactjs.org/) components and wherever Markdown syntax isn't enough, JSX components can be used. Hopefully, this update will also make it much easier to contribute to the docs. Once this PR is merged, I'll implement auto-deployment via [Netlify](https://netlify.com) on a specific branch (to avoid building the website on every PR). There's a bunch of other cool stuff that the new setup will allow us to do – including writing front-end tests, service workers, offline support, implementing a search and so on. This PR also includes various new docs pages and content. Resolves #3270. Resolves #3222. Resolves #2947. Resolves #2837. ### Types of change enhancement ## Checklist <!--- Before you submit the PR, go over this checklist and make sure you can tick off all the boxes. [] -> [x] --> - [x] I have submitted the spaCy Contributor Agreement. - [x] I ran the tests, and all new and existing tests passed. - [x] My changes don't require a change to the documentation, or if they do, I've added all required information.

## Models and training data {#training}
### JSON input format for training {#json-input}
spaCy takes training data in JSON format. The built-in
[`convert`](/api/cli#convert) command helps you convert the `.conllu` format
used by the
[Universal Dependencies corpora](https://github.com/UniversalDependencies) to
spaCy's training format.
> #### Annotating entities
>
> Named entities are provided in the [BILUO](#biluo) notation. Tokens outside an
> entity are set to `"O"` and tokens that are part of an entity are set to the
> entity label, prefixed by the BILUO marker. For example `"B-ORG"` describes
> the first token of a multi-token `ORG` entity and `"U-PERSON"` a single token
> representing a `PERSON` entity. The
> [`biluo_tags_from_offsets`](/api/goldparse#biluo_tags_from_offsets) function
> can help you convert entity offsets to the right format.
```python
### Example structure
[{
"id": int, # ID of the document within the corpus
"paragraphs": [{ # list of paragraphs in the corpus
"raw": string, # raw text of the paragraph
"sentences": [{ # list of sentences in the paragraph
"tokens": [{ # list of tokens in the sentence
"id": int, # index of the token in the document
"dep": string, # dependency label
"head": int, # offset of token head relative to token index
"tag": string, # part-of-speech tag
"orth": string, # verbatim text of the token
"ner": string # BILUO label, e.g. "O" or "B-ORG"
}],
"brackets": [{ # phrase structure (NOT USED by current models)
"first": int, # index of first token
"last": int, # index of last token
"label": string # phrase label
}]
}]
}]
}]
```
Here's an example of dependencies, part-of-speech tags and names entities, taken
from the English Wall Street Journal portion of the Penn Treebank:

### Lexical data for vocabulary {#vocab-jsonl new="2"}
To populate a model's vocabulary, you can use the
[`spacy init-model`](/api/cli#init-model) command and load in a
[newline-delimited JSON](http://jsonlines.org/) (JSONL) file containing one
lexical entry per line via the `--jsonl-loc` option. The first line defines the
language and vocabulary settings. All other lines are expected to be JSON
objects describing an individual lexeme. The lexical attributes will be then set
as attributes on spaCy's [`Lexeme`](/api/lexeme#attributes) object. The `vocab`
command outputs a ready-to-use spaCy model with a `Vocab` containing the lexical
data.
```python
### First line
{"lang": "en", "settings": {"oov_prob": -20.502029418945312}}
```
```python
### Entry structure
{
"orth": string,
"id": int,
"lower": string,
"norm": string,
"shape": string
"prefix": string,
"suffix": string,
"length": int,
"cluster": string,
"prob": float,
"is_alpha": bool,
"is_ascii": bool,
"is_digit": bool,
"is_lower": bool,
"is_punct": bool,
"is_space": bool,
"is_title": bool,
"is_upper": bool,
"like_url": bool,
"like_num": bool,
"like_email": bool,
"is_stop": bool,
"is_oov": bool,
"is_quote": bool,
"is_left_punct": bool,
"is_right_punct": bool
}
