TODO
Construct an embedding layer with the features of `MultiHashEmbed` (see above)
plus more detailed features extracted from various positions in each token string.
The fixed-length `PREFIX` and `SUFFIX` features used in `MultiHashEmbed`
are sometimes not rich enough when working with languages with complex morphology,
and this layer allows the specification of multiple prefixes and suffixes
of any lengths.
Additionally, it is possible to use as features the results of character
searches of specified lengths. A list of search characters is specified; the
characters in each word are examined in order starting at the beginning or at
the end; and each character that matches one of the search characters is added,
in order, to the string to be used as a feature. The search continues until
either the search result string is full or the whole word has been examined.
This is useful because many languages exhibit morphological alternations where
one letter or letters regularly alternate with another letter or letters
depending on the presence of some other letter before or after it, e.g. German
plural nouns where the final two vowels are `ä-e` regularly correspond to
singular lemmas where the `e` is no longer present and the `ä` has become `a`.
For most languages, searching is likely to be useful starting at the end
(`suff_*`), but the ability to search from the beginning (`pref_*`) is also
offered for completeness. Search characters should consist of all characters
that regularly alternate with other characters in the language in question or
whose presence before or after characters that would otherwise alternate
prevents the alternation from occurring, e.g. an `ä` in a German plural noun does
not become `a` if it is the third or fourth vowel from the end of the word.
Internally, the model converts each token string to UTF-16 and assumes that each
character from the string occupies two bytes. This assumption holds for all
characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane, which encompasses all characters that
are ever likely to be of interest when extracting features. There are, however,
characters like emojis that are in the Extended Multilingual Plane and occupy
four bytes, although importantly neither of the two byte pairs that make up such
a representation can be a valid two-byte character in its own right. The
following considerations apply to the processing of four-byte characters:
- An exceptional four-byte character within a text consisting mostly of two-byte
characters will probably be ignored by the neural network accepting the
embedding layer as not matching any of the learned features.
- If anyone did want to train a model for a language like Lycian that is
generally written in four-byte characters, prefix and suffix features can
still be extracted, but the length specifications should all be doubled, i.e.
`[2,4,6]` to extract one-, two- and three-character affixes. In such a
situation length specifications that are odd numbers would serve no useful
purpose since they would refer to half-characters.
- Four-byte characters are not accepted within search character specification
strings and lead to an error being thrown.
width (int): The output width. Also used as the width of the embedding tables.
Recommended values are between 64 and 300.
attrs (list of attr IDs): The token attributes to embed. A separate
embedding table will be constructed for each attribute.
rows (List[int]): The number of rows in the embedding tables. Must have the
same length as attrs.
include_static_vectors (bool): Whether to also use static word vectors.
Requires a vectors table to be loaded in the Doc objects' vocab.
case_sensitive (bool): Whether lower-case and upper-case letters should be
distinguished when generating the character combinations to use as features.
pref_lengths (Optional[List[int]]): The lengths of prefixes to use as features
for each word, e.g. for the word `spaCy`:
`[1, 3]` would lead to `s` and `spa` being used as features.
pref_rows (Optional[List[int]]): The number of rows for each of `pref_lengths`.
pref_search_chars (Optional[str]): A string containing characters to search for
starting from the beginning of each word. May not contain characters that
occupy four bytes in UTF-16; if `case_sensitive==True`, may not contain
upper-case letters.
pref_search_lengths (Optional[List[int]]): The lengths of search result strings
to use as features, where the searches start from the beginning of each word.
pref_search_rows (Optional[List[int]]): The number of rows for each of
`pref_search_lengths`.
suff_lengths (Optional[List[int]]): The lengths of suffixes to use as features
for each word, e.g. for the word `spaCy`:
`[1, 3]` would lead to `y` and `aCy` being used as features.
suff_rows (Optional[List[int]]): The number of rows for each of `suff_lengths`.
suff_search_chars (Optional[str]): A string containing characters to search for
starting from the end of each word. May not contain characters that
occupy four bytes in UTF-16; if `case_sensitive==True`, may not contain
upper-case letters.
suff_search_lengths (Optional[List[int]]): The lengths of search result strings
to use as features, where the searches start from the end of each word.
suff_search_rows (Optional[List[int]]): The number of rows for each of
`suff_search_lengths`.
