* Flag to ignore examples with mismatched raw/gold text
After #4525, we're seeing some alignment failures on our OntoNotes data. I think we actually have fixes for most of these cases.
In general it's better to fix the data, but it seems good to allow the GoldCorpus class to just skip cases where the raw text doesn't
match up to the gold words. I think previously we were silently ignoring these cases.
* Try to fix test on Python 2.7
* Add doc.cats to spacy.gold at the paragraph level
Support `doc.cats` as `"cats": [{"label": string, "value": number}]` in
the spacy JSON training format at the paragraph level.
* `spacy.gold.docs_to_json()` writes `docs.cats`
* `GoldCorpus` reads in cats in each `GoldParse`
* Update instances of gold_tuples to handle cats
Update iteration over gold_tuples / gold_parses to handle addition of
cats at the paragraph level.
* Add textcat to train CLI
* Add textcat options to train CLI
* Add textcat labels in `TextCategorizer.begin_training()`
* Add textcat evaluation to `Scorer`:
* For binary exclusive classes with provided label: F1 for label
* For 2+ exclusive classes: F1 macro average
* For multilabel (not exclusive): ROC AUC macro average (currently
relying on sklearn)
* Provide user info on textcat evaluation settings, potential
incompatibilities
* Provide pipeline to Scorer in `Language.evaluate` for textcat config
* Customize train CLI output to include only metrics relevant to current
pipeline
* Add textcat evaluation to evaluate CLI
* Fix handling of unset arguments and config params
Fix handling of unset arguments and model confiug parameters in Scorer
initialization.
* Temporarily add sklearn requirement
* Remove sklearn version number
* Improve Scorer handling of models without textcats
* Fixing Scorer handling of models without textcats
* Update Scorer output for python 2.7
* Modify inf in Scorer for python 2.7
* Auto-format
Also make small adjustments to make auto-formatting with black easier and produce nicer results
* Move error message to Errors
* Update documentation
* Add cats to annotation JSON format [ci skip]
* Fix tpl flag and docs [ci skip]
* Switch to internal roc_auc_score
Switch to internal `roc_auc_score()` adapted from scikit-learn.
* Add AUCROCScore tests and improve errors/warnings
* Add tests for AUCROCScore and roc_auc_score
* Add missing error for only positive/negative values
* Remove unnecessary warnings and errors
* Make reduced roc_auc_score functions private
Because most of the checks and warnings have been stripped for the
internal functions and access is only intended through `ROCAUCScore`,
make the functions for roc_auc_score adapted from scikit-learn private.
* Check that data corresponds with multilabel flag
Check that the training instances correspond with the multilabel flag,
adding the multilabel flag if required.
* Add textcat score to early stopping check
* Add more checks to debug-data for textcat
* Add example training data for textcat
* Add more checks to textcat train CLI
* Check configuration when extending base model
* Fix typos
* Update textcat example data
* Provide licensing details and licenses for data
* Remove two labels with no positive instances from jigsaw-toxic-comment
data.

* Prevent subtok label if not learning tokens
The parser introduces the subtok label to mark tokens that should be
merged during post-processing. Previously this happened even if we did
not have the --learn-tokens flag set. This patch passes the config
through to the parser, to prevent the problem.
* Make merge_subtokens a parser post-process if learn_subtokens
* Fix train script
* Add test for 3830: subtok problem
* Fix handlign of non-subtok in parser training
* Add early stopping
* Add return_score option to evaluate
* Fix missing str to path conversion
* Fix import + old python compatibility
* Fix bad beam_width setting during cpu evaluation in spacy train with gpu option turned on
The new spacy pretrain command implemented BERT/ULMFit/etc-like transfer learning, using our Language Modelling with Approximate Outputs version of BERT's cloze task. Pretraining is convenient, but in some ways it's a bit of a strange solution. All we're doing is initialising the weights. At the same time, we're putting a lot of work into our optimisation so that it's less sensitive to initial conditions, and more likely to find good optima. I discuss this a bit in the pseudo-rehearsal blog post: https://explosion.ai/blog/pseudo-rehearsal-catastrophic-forgetting
Support semi-supervised learning in spacy train
One obvious way to improve these pretraining methods is to do multi-task learning, instead of just transfer learning. This has been shown to work very well: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.08370.pdf . This patch makes it easy to do this sort of thing.
Add a new argument to spacy train, --raw-text. This takes a jsonl file with unlabelled data that can be used in arbitrary ways to do semi-supervised learning.
Add a new method to the Language class and to pipeline components, .rehearse(). This is like .update(), but doesn't expect GoldParse objects. It takes a batch of Doc objects, and performs an update on some semi-supervised objective.
Move the BERT-LMAO objective out from spacy/cli/pretrain.py into spacy/_ml.py, so we can create a new pipeline component, ClozeMultitask. This can be specified as a parser or NER multitask in the spacy train command. Example usage:
python -m spacy train en ./tmp ~/data/en-core-web/train/nw.json ~/data/en-core-web/dev/nw.json --pipeline parser --raw-textt ~/data/unlabelled/reddit-100k.jsonl --vectors en_vectors_web_lg --parser-multitasks cloze
Implement rehearsal methods for pipeline components
The new --raw-text argument and nlp.rehearse() method also gives us a good place to implement the the idea in the pseudo-rehearsal blog post in the parser. This works as follows:
Add a new nlp.resume_training() method. This allocates copies of pre-trained models in the pipeline, setting things up for the rehearsal updates. It also returns an optimizer object. This also greatly reduces confusion around the nlp.begin_training() method, which randomises the weights, making it not suitable for adding new labels or otherwise fine-tuning a pre-trained model.
Implement rehearsal updates on the Parser class, making it available for the dependency parser and NER. During rehearsal, the initial model is used to supervise the model being trained. The current model is asked to match the predictions of the initial model on some data. This minimises catastrophic forgetting, by keeping the model's predictions close to the original. See the blog post for details.

Remove hacks and wrappers, keep code in sync across our libraries and move spaCy a few steps closer to only depending on packages with binary wheels 🎉
See here: https://github.com/explosion/srsly
Serialization is hard, especially across Python versions and multiple platforms. After dealing with many subtle bugs over the years (encodings, locales, large files) our libraries like spaCy and Prodigy have steadily grown a number of utility functions to wrap the multiple serialization formats we need to support (especially json, msgpack and pickle). These wrapping functions ended up duplicated across our codebases, so we wanted to put them in one place.
At the same time, we noticed that having a lot of small dependencies was making maintainence harder, and making installation slower. To solve this, we've made srsly standalone, by including the component packages directly within it. This way we can provide all the serialization utilities we need in a single binary wheel.
srsly currently includes forks of the following packages:
ujson
msgpack
msgpack-numpy
cloudpickle

These experiments were completed a few weeks ago, but I didn't make the PR, pending model release.
Token vector width: 128->96
Hidden width: 128->64
Embed size: 5000->2000
Dropout: 0.2->0.1
Updated optimizer defaults (unclear how important?)
This should improve speed, model size and load time, while keeping
similar or slightly better accuracy.
The tl;dr is we prefer to prevent over-fitting by reducing model size,
rather than using more dropout.
