A few unresolved points:

- SpanPredictor should probably get its own file
- What's the right way to document MentionClusters?

title: CoreferenceResolver
tag: class
source: spacy/pipeline/coref.py
new: 3.4
teaser: 'Pipeline component for word-level coreference resolution'
api_base_class: /api/pipe
api_string_name: coref
api_trainable: true
---
A `CoreferenceResolver` component groups tokens into clusters that refer to the
same thing. Clusters are represented as SpanGroups that start with a prefix
(`coref_clusters_` by default).
A `CoreferenceResolver` component can be paired with a
[`SpanPredictor`](/api/spanpredictor) to expand single tokens to spans.
## Assigned Attributes {#assigned-attributes}
Predictions will be saved to `Doc.spans` as a [`SpanGroup`](/api/spangroup). The
span key will be a prefix plus a serial number referring to the coreference
cluster, starting from zero.
The span key prefix defaults to `"coreference_clusters"`, but can be passed as a
parameter.
| Location | Value |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Doc.spans[prefix + "_" + cluster_number]` | One coreference cluster, represented as single-token spans. ~~SpanGroup~~ |
## Config and implementation {#config}
The default config is defined by the pipeline component factory and describes
how the component should be configured. You can override its settings via the
`config` argument on [`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe) or in your
[`config.cfg` for training](/usage/training#config). See the
[model architectures](/api/architectures) documentation for details on the
architectures and their arguments and hyperparameters.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> from spacy.pipeline.coref import DEFAULT_COREF_MODEL
> config={
> "model": DEFAULT_COREF_MODEL,
> "span_cluster_prefix": DEFAULT_CLUSTER_PREFIX,
> },
> nlp.add_pipe("coref", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Description |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `model` | The [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) powering the pipeline component. Defaults to [Coref](/api/architectures#Coref). ~~Model~~ |
| `span_cluster_prefix` | The prefix for the keys for clusters saved to `doc.spans`. Defaults to `coref_clusters`. ~~str~~ |
```python
%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/pipeline/coref.py
```
## CoreferenceResolver.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> # Construction via add_pipe with default model
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("coref")
>
> # Construction via add_pipe with custom model
> config = {"model": {"@architectures": "my_coref.v1"}}
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("coref", config=config)
>
> # Construction from class
> from spacy.pipeline import CoreferenceResolver
> coref = CoreferenceResolver(nlp.vocab, model)
> ```
Create a new pipeline instance. In your application, you would normally use a
shortcut for this and instantiate the component using its string name and
[`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe).
| Name | Description |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `vocab` | The shared vocabulary. ~~Vocab~~ |
| `model` | The [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) powering the pipeline component. ~~Model~~ |
| `name` | String name of the component instance. Used to add entries to the `losses` during training. ~~str~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `span_cluster_prefix` | The prefix for the key for saving clusters of spans. ~~bool~~ |
## CoreferenceResolver.\_\_call\_\_ {#call tag="method"}
Apply the pipe to one document. The document is modified in place and returned.
This usually happens under the hood when the `nlp` object is called on a text
and all pipeline components are applied to the `Doc` in order. Both
[`__call__`](/api/entitylinker#call) and [`pipe`](/api/entitylinker#pipe)
delegate to the [`predict`](/api/entitylinker#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/entitylinker#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("coref")
> # This usually happens under the hood
> processed = coref(doc)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
## CoreferenceResolver.pipe {#pipe tag="method"}
Apply the pipe to a stream of documents. This usually happens under the hood
when the `nlp` object is called on a text and all pipeline components are
applied to the `Doc` in order. Both [`__call__`](/api/coref#call) and
[`pipe`](/api/coref#pipe) delegate to the [`predict`](/api/coref#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/coref#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("coref")
> for doc in coref.pipe(docs, batch_size=50):
> pass
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `stream` | A stream of documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `batch_size` | The number of documents to buffer. Defaults to `128`. ~~int~~ |
| **YIELDS** | The processed documents in order. ~~Doc~~ |
## CoreferenceResolver.initialize {#initialize tag="method"}
Initialize the component for training. `get_examples` should be a function that
returns an iterable of [`Example`](/api/example) objects. The data examples are
used to **initialize the model** of the component and can either be the full
training data or a representative sample. Initialization includes validating the
network,
[inferring missing shapes](https://thinc.ai/docs/usage-models#validation) and
setting up the label scheme based on the data. This method is typically called
by [`Language.initialize`](/api/language#initialize).
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("coref")
> coref.initialize(lambda: [], nlp=nlp)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `get_examples` | Function that returns gold-standard annotations in the form of [`Example`](/api/example) objects. ~~Callable[[], Iterable[Example]]~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `nlp` | The current `nlp` object. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Language]~~ |
## CoreferenceResolver.predict {#predict tag="method"}
Apply the component's model to a batch of [`Doc`](/api/doc) objects, without
modifying them. Clusters are returned as a list of `MentionClusters`, one for
each input `Doc`. A `MentionClusters` instance is just a list of lists of pairs
of `int`s, where each item corresponds to a cluster, and the `int`s correspond
to token indices.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("coref")
> clusters = coref.predict([doc1, doc2])
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `docs` | The documents to predict. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The predicted coreference clusters for the `docs`. ~~List[MentionClusters]~~ |
## CoreferenceResolver.set_annotations {#set_annotations tag="method"}
Modify a batch of documents, saving coreference clusters in `Doc.spans`.
> #### Example

> coref.set_annotations([doc1, doc2], clusters)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `docs` | The documents to modify. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
| `clusters` | The predicted coreference clusters for the `docs`. ~~List[MentionClusters]~~ |
## CoreferenceResolver.update {#update tag="method"}
Learn from a batch of [`Example`](/api/example) objects. Delegates to
[`predict`](/api/entitylinker#predict).
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("coref")

> losses = coref.update(examples, sgd=optimizer)
> ```

| **RETURNS** | The updated `losses` dictionary. ~~Dict[str, float]~~ |
## CoreferenceResolver.create_optimizer {#create_optimizer tag="method"}
Create an optimizer for the pipeline component.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("coref")
> optimizer = coref.create_optimizer()
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | ---------------------------- |
| **RETURNS** | The optimizer. ~~Optimizer~~ |
## CoreferenceResolver.use_params {#use_params tag="method, contextmanager"}
Modify the pipe's model, to use the given parameter values. At the end of the
context, the original parameters are restored.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("coref")
> with coref.use_params(optimizer.averages):
> coref.to_disk("/best_model")
> ```
| Name | Description |

different aspects of the object. If needed, you can exclude them from
serialization by passing in the string names via the `exclude` argument.
