* Fix code for bag-of-words feature extraction
The _ml.py module had a redundant copy of a function to extract unigram
bag-of-words features, except one had a bug that set values to 0.
Another function allowed extraction of bigram features. Replace all three
with a new function that supports arbitrary ngram sizes and also allows
control of which attribute is used (e.g. ORTH, LOWER, etc).
* Support 'bow' architecture for TextCategorizer
This allows efficient ngram bag-of-words models, which are better when
the classifier needs to run quickly, especially when the texts are long.
Pass architecture="bow" to use it. The extra arguments ngram_size and
attr are also available, e.g. ngram_size=2 means unigram and bigram
features will be extracted.
* Fix size limits in train_textcat example
* Explain architectures better in docs
While developing v2.1, I ran a bunch of hyper-parameter search
experiments to find settings that performed well for spaCy's NER and
parser. I ended up changing the default Adam settings from beta1=0.9,
beta2=0.999, eps=1e-8 to beta1=0.8, beta2=0.8, eps=1e-5. This was giving
a small improvement in accuracy (like, 0.4%).
Months later, I run the models with Prodigy, which uses beam-search
decoding even when the model has been trained with a greedy objective.
The new models performed terribly...So, wtf? After a couple of days
debugging, I figured out that the new optimizer settings was causing the
model to converge to solutions where the top-scoring class often had
a score of like, -80. The variance on the weights had gone up
enormously. I guess I needed to update the L2 regularisation as well?
Anyway. Let's just revert the change --- if the optimizer is finding
such extreme solutions, that seems bad, and not nearly worth the small
improvement in accuracy.
Currently training a slate of models, to verify the accuracy change is minimal.
Once the training is complete, we can merge this.
