title: SpanPredictor
tag: class
source: spacy/pipeline/span_predictor.py
new: 3.4
teaser: 'Pipeline component for resolving tokens into spans'
api_base_class: /api/pipe
api_string_name: span_predictor
api_trainable: true
---
A `SpanPredictor` component takes in tokens (represented as `Span`s of length
1. and resolves them into `Span`s of arbitrary length. The initial use case is
as a post-processing step on word-level [coreference resolution](/api/coref).
The input and output keys used to store `Span`s are configurable.
## Assigned Attributes {#assigned-attributes}
Predictions will be saved to `Doc.spans` as [`SpanGroup`s](/api/spangroup).
Input token spans will be read in using an input prefix, by default
`"coref_head_clusters"`, and output spans will be saved using an output prefix
(default `"coref_clusters"`) plus a serial number starting from zero. The
prefixes are configurable.
| Location | Value |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `Doc.spans[output_prefix + "_" + cluster_number]` | One group of predicted 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.span_predictor import DEFAULT_SPAN_PREDICTOR_MODEL
> config={
> "model": DEFAULT_SPAN_PREDICTOR_MODEL,
> "span_cluster_prefix": DEFAULT_CLUSTER_PREFIX,
> },
> nlp.add_pipe("span_predictor", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Description |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `model` | The [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) powering the pipeline component. Defaults to [SpanPredictor](/api/architectures#SpanPredictor). ~~Model~~ |
| `input_prefix` | The prefix to use for input `SpanGroup`s. Defaults to `coref_head_clusters`. ~~str~~ |
| `output_prefix` | The prefix for predicted `SpanGroup`s. Defaults to `coref_clusters`. ~~str~~ |
```python
%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/pipeline/span_predictor.py
```
## SpanPredictor.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> # Construction via add_pipe with default model
> span_predictor = nlp.add_pipe("span_predictor")
>
> # Construction via add_pipe with custom model
> config = {"model": {"@architectures": "my_span_predictor.v1"}}

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_ | |
| `input_prefix` | The prefix to use for input `SpanGroup`s. Defaults to `coref_head_clusters`. ~~str~~ |
| `output_prefix` | The prefix for predicted `SpanGroup`s. Defaults to `coref_clusters`. ~~str~~ |
## SpanPredictor.\_\_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__`](#call) and [`pipe`](#pipe) delegate to the [`predict`](#predict)
and [`set_annotations`](#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
> span_predictor = nlp.add_pipe("span_predictor")
> # This usually happens under the hood
> processed = span_predictor(doc)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
## SpanPredictor.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/span-predictor#call) and
[`pipe`](/api/span-predictor#pipe) delegate to the
[`predict`](/api/span-predictor#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/span-predictor#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> span_predictor = nlp.add_pipe("span_predictor")
> for doc in span_predictor.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~~ |
## SpanPredictor.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
> span_predictor = nlp.add_pipe("span_predictor")
> span_predictor.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]~~ |
## SpanPredictor.predict {#predict tag="method"}
Apply the component's model to a batch of [`Doc`](/api/doc) objects, without
modifying them. Predictions 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 an input `SpanGroup`, and the `int`s
correspond to token indices.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> span_predictor = nlp.add_pipe("span_predictor")
> spans = span_predictor.predict([doc1, doc2])
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `docs` | The documents to predict. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The predicted spans for the `Doc`s. ~~List[MentionClusters]~~ |
## SpanPredictor.set_annotations {#set_annotations tag="method"}
Modify a batch of documents, saving predictions using the output prefix in
`Doc.spans`.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> span_predictor = nlp.add_pipe("span_predictor")
> spans = span_predictor.predict([doc1, doc2])
> span_predictor.set_annotations([doc1, doc2], spans)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `docs` | The documents to modify. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
| `spans` | The predicted spans for the `docs`. ~~List[MentionClusters]~~ |
## SpanPredictor.update {#update tag="method"}

[`predict`](/api/span-predictor#predict).
> #### Example
>

> losses = span_predictor.update(examples, sgd=optimizer)
> ```
| Name | Description |

| **RETURNS** | The updated `losses` dictionary. ~~Dict[str, float]~~ |
## SpanPredictor.create_optimizer {#create_optimizer tag="method"}
Create an optimizer for the pipeline component.
> #### Example

| ----------- | ---------------------------- |
| **RETURNS** | The optimizer. ~~Optimizer~~ |
## SpanPredictor.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
> span_predictor = nlp.add_pipe("span_predictor")

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