* Updates/bugfixes for NER/IOB converters
* Converter formats `ner` and `iob` use autodetect to choose a converter if
possible
* `iob2json` is reverted to handle sentence-per-line data like
`word1|pos1|ent1 word2|pos2|ent2`
* Fix bug in `merge_sentences()` so the second sentence in each batch isn't
skipped
* `conll_ner2json` is made more general so it can handle more formats with
whitespace-separated columns
* Supports all formats where the first column is the token and the final
column is the IOB tag; if present, the second column is the POS tag
* As in CoNLL 2003 NER, blank lines separate sentences, `-DOCSTART- -X- O O`
separates documents
* Add option for segmenting sentences (new flag `-s`)
* Parser-based sentence segmentation with a provided model, otherwise with
sentencizer (new option `-b` to specify model)
* Can group sentences into documents with `n_sents` as long as sentence
segmentation is available
* Only applies automatic segmentation when there are no existing delimiters
in the data
* Provide info about settings applied during conversion with warnings and
suggestions if settings conflict or might not be not optimal.
* Add tests for common formats
* Add '(default)' back to docs for -c auto
* Add document count back to output
* Revert changes to converter output message
* Use explicit tabs in convert CLI test data
* Adjust/add messages for n_sents=1 default
* Add sample NER data to training examples
* Update README
* Add links in docs to example NER data
* Define msg within converters
* add `words`
* update name of entity list to `ner`
I think it might be a bit more consistent to have `ner` named `entities`
or `ents` (and `ents` is actually set somewhere to `None`, which is a
bit confusing), but it looks like renaming it would be a non-trivial
decision.
* Update pretrain to prevent unintended overwriting of weight files for #3859
* Add '--epoch-start' to pretrain docs
* Add mising pretrain arguments to bash example
* Update doc tag for v2.1.5
* Perserve flags in EntityRuler
The EntityRuler (explosion/spaCy#3526) does not preserve
overwrite flags (or `ent_id_sep`) when serialized. This
commit adds support for serialization/deserialization preserving
overwrite and ent_id_sep flags.
* add signed contributor agreement
* flake8 cleanup
mostly blank line issues.
* mark test from the issue as needing a model
The test from the issue needs some language model for serialization
but the test wasn't originally marked correctly.
* Adds `phrase_matcher_attr` to allow args to PhraseMatcher
This is an added arg to pass to the `PhraseMatcher`. For example,
this allows creation of a case insensitive phrase matcher when the
`EntityRuler` is created. References explosion/spaCy#3822
* remove unneeded model loading
The model didn't need to be loaded, and I replaced it with
a change that doesn't require it (using existings fixtures)
* updated docstring for new argument
* updated docs to reflect new argument to the EntityRuler constructor
* change tempdir handling to be compatible with python 2.7
* return conflicted code to entityruler
Some stuff got cut out because of merge conflicts, this
returns that code for the phrase_matcher_attr.
* fixed typo in the code added back after conflicts
* flake8 compliance
When I deconflicted the branch there were some flake8 issues
introduced. This resolves the spacing problems.
* test changes: attempts to fix flaky test in python3.5
These tests seem to be alittle flaky in 3.5 so I changed the check to avoid
the comparisons that seem to be fail sometimes.
* Add error to `get_vectors_loss` for unsupported loss function of `pretrain`
* Add missing "--loss-func" argument to pretrain docs. Update pretrain plac annotations to match docs.
* Add missing quotation marks
* Update tokenizer.md for construction example
Self contained example. You should really say what nlp is so that the example will work as is
* Update CONTRIBUTOR_AGREEMENT.md
* Restore contributor agreement
* Adjust construction examples
* Add check for empty input file to CLI pretrain
* Raise error if JSONL is not a dict or contains neither `tokens` nor `text` key
* Skip empty values for correct pretrain keys and log a counter as warning
* Add tests for CLI pretrain core function make_docs.
* Add a short hint for the `tokens` key to the CLI pretrain docs
* Add success message to CLI pretrain
* Update model loading to fix the tests
* Skip empty values and do not create docs out of it
<!--- Provide a general summary of your changes in the title. -->
When using `spacy pretrain`, the model is saved only after every epoch. But each epoch can be very big since `pretrain` is used for language modeling tasks. So I added a `--save-every` option in the CLI to save after every `--save-every` batches.
## Description
<!--- Use this section to describe your changes. If your changes required
testing, include information about the testing environment and the tests you
ran. If your test fixes a bug reported in an issue, don't forget to include the
issue number. If your PR is still a work in progress, that's totally fine – just
include a note to let us know. -->
To test...
Save this file to `sample_sents.jsonl`
```
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
```
Then run `--save-every 2` when pretraining.
```bash
spacy pretrain sample_sents.jsonl en_core_web_md here -nw 1 -bs 1 -i 10 --save-every 2
```
And it should save the model to the `here/` folder after every 2 batches. The models that are saved during an epoch will have a `.temp` appended to the save name.
At the end the training, you should see these files (`ls here/`):
```bash
config.json model2.bin model5.bin model8.bin
log.jsonl model2.temp.bin model5.temp.bin model8.temp.bin
model0.bin model3.bin model6.bin model9.bin
model0.temp.bin model3.temp.bin model6.temp.bin model9.temp.bin
model1.bin model4.bin model7.bin
model1.temp.bin model4.temp.bin model7.temp.bin
```
### Types of change
<!-- What type of change does your PR cover? Is it a bug fix, an enhancement
or new feature, or a change to the documentation? -->
This is a new feature to `spacy pretrain`.
🌵 **Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test this because compiling from source is not working (cythonize error).**
