| Whether you're new to spaCy, or just want to brush up on some
| NLP basics and implementation details this page should have you covered.
| Each section will explain one of spaCy's features in simple terms and
| with examples or illustrations. Some sections will also reappear across
| the usage guides as a quick introduction.
+aside("Help us improve the docs")
| Did you spot a mistake or come across explanations that
| are unclear? We always appreciate improvement
| #[+a(gh("spaCy") + "/issues") suggestions] or
| #[+a(gh("spaCy") + "/pulls") pull requests]. You can find a "Suggest

p
| spaCy is a #[strong free, open-source library] for advanced
| #[strong Natural Language Processing] (NLP) in Python.
p
| If you're working with a lot of text, you'll eventually want to
| know more about it. For example, what's it about? What do the
| words mean in context? Who is doing what to whom? What companies
| and products are mentioned? Which texts are similar to each other?
p
| spaCy is designed specifically for #[strong production use] and
| helps you build applications that process and "understand"
| large volumes of text. It can be used to build
| #[strong information extraction] or
| #[strong natural language understanding] systems, or to
| pre-process text for #[strong deep learning].

+h(3, "what-spacy-isnt") What spaCy isn't
+list
+item #[strong spaCy is not a platform or "an API"].
| Unlike a platform, spaCy does not provide a software as a service, or
| a web application. It's an open-source library designed to help you
| build NLP applications, not a consumable service.
+item #[strong spaCy is not an out-of-the-box chat bot engine].
| While spaCy can be used to power conversational applications, it's
| not designed specifically for chat bots, and only provides the
| underlying text processing capabilities.
+item #[strong spaCy is not research software].
| It's built on the latest research, but it's designed to get
| things done. This leads to fairly different design decisions than
| #[+a("https://github./nltk/nltk") NLTK]
| or #[+a("https://stanfordnlp.github.io/CoreNLP/") CoreNLP], which were
| created as platforms for teaching and research. The main difference
| is that spaCy is integrated and opinionated. spaCy tries to avoid asking
| the user to choose between multiple algorithms that deliver equivalent
| functionality. Keeping the menu small lets spaCy deliver generally better
| performance and developer experience.
+item #[strong spaCy is not a company].
| It's an open-source library. Our company publishing spaCy and other
| software is called #[+a(COMPANY_URL, true) Explosion AI].

p
| In the documentation, you'll come across mentions of spaCy's

| If one of spaCy's functionalities #[strong needs a model], it means
| that you need to have one of the available
| #[+a("/models") statistical models] installed. Models are used
| to #[strong predict] linguistic annotations for example, if a word
| is a verb or a noun.

+h(2, "annotations") Linguistic annotations
p
| spaCy provides a variety of linguistic annotations to give you
| #[strong insights into a text's grammatical structure]. This
| includes the word types, like the parts of speech, and how the words
| are related to each other. For example, if you're analysing text, it
| makes a huge difference whether a noun is the subject of a sentence,
| or the object or whether "google" is used as a verb, or refers to
| the website or company in a specific context.
p
| Once you've downloaded and installed a #[+a("/usage/models") model],
| you can load it via #[+api("spacy#load") #[code spacy.load()]]. This will
| return a #[code Language] object contaning all components and data needed
| to process text. We usually call it #[code nlp]. Calling the #[code nlp]
| object on a string of text will return a processed #[code Doc]:
+code.
import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('en')
doc = nlp(u'Apple is looking at buying U.K. startup for $1 billion')
p
| Even though a #[code Doc] is processed e.g. split into individual words
| and annotated it still holds #[strong all information of the original text],
| like whitespace characters. You can always get the offset of a token into the
| original string, or reconstruct the original by joining the tokens and their
| trailing whitespace. This way, you'll never lose any information
| when processing text with spaCy.
