This reverts commit 56b820f6af.
* Document 'characters' objective of pretrain
* Reduce stored lexemes data, move feats to lookups
* Move non-derivable lexemes features (`norm / cluster / prob`) to
`spacy-lookups-data` as lookups
* Get/set `norm` in both lookups and `LexemeC`, serialize in lookups
* Remove `cluster` and `prob` from `LexemesC`, get/set/serialize in
lookups only
* Remove serialization of lexemes data as `vocab/lexemes.bin`
* Remove `SerializedLexemeC`
* Remove `Lexeme.to_bytes/from_bytes`
* Modify normalization exception loading:
* Always create `Vocab.lookups` table `lexeme_norm` for
normalization exceptions
* Load base exceptions from `lang.norm_exceptions`, but load
language-specific exceptions from lookups
* Set `lex_attr_getter[NORM]` including new lookups table in
`BaseDefaults.create_vocab()` and when deserializing `Vocab`
* Remove all cached lexemes when deserializing vocab to override
existing normalizations with the new normalizations (as a replacement
for the previous step that replaced all lexemes data with the
deserialized data)
* Skip English normalization test
Skip English normalization test because the data is now in
`spacy-lookups-data`.
* Remove norm exceptions
Moved to spacy-lookups-data.
* Move norm exceptions test to spacy-lookups-data
* Load extra lookups from spacy-lookups-data lazily
Load extra lookups (currently for cluster and prob) lazily from the
entry point `lg_extra` as `Vocab.lookups_extra`.
* Skip creating lexeme cache on load
To improve model loading times, do not create the full lexeme cache when
loading. The lexemes will be created on demand when processing.
* Identify numeric values in Lexeme.set_attrs()
With the removal of a special case for `PROB`, also identify `float` to
avoid trying to convert it with the `StringStore`.
* Skip lexeme cache init in from_bytes
* Unskip and update lookups tests for python3.6+
* Update vocab pickle to include lookups_extra
* Update vocab serialization tests
Check strings rather than lexemes since lexemes aren't initialized
automatically, account for addition of "_SP".
* Re-skip lookups test because of python3.5
* Skip PROB/float values in Lexeme.set_attrs
* Convert is_oov from lexeme flag to lex in vectors
Instead of storing `is_oov` as a lexeme flag, `is_oov` reports whether
the lexeme has a vector.

* `debug-data`: determine coverage of provided vectors
* `evaluate`: support `blank:lg` model to make it possible to just evaluate
tokenization
* `init-model`: add option to truncate vectors to N most frequent vectors
from word2vec file
* `train`:
* if training on GPU, only run evaluation/timing on CPU in the first
iteration
* if training is aborted, exit with a non-0 exit status
* Fixed typo in cli warning
Fixed a typo in the warning for the provision of exactly two labels, which have not been designated as binary, to textcat.
* Create and signed contributor form
* Omit per_type scores from model-best calculations
The addition of per_type scores to the included metrics (#4911) causes
errors when they're compared while determining the best model, so omit
them for this `max()` comparison.
* Add default speed data for interrupted train CLI
Add better speed meta defaults so that an interrupted iteration still
produces a best model.

* Fix model-final/model-best meta
* include speed and accuracy from final iteration
* combine with speeds from base model if necessary
* Include token_acc metric for all components
Improve train CLI with a provided base model so that you can:
* add a new component
* extend an existing component
* replace an existing component
When the final model and best model are saved, reenable any disabled
components and merge the meta information to include the full pipeline
and accuracy information for all components in the base model plus the
newly added components if needed.
* 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

* `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

* For multilabel (not exclusive): ROC AUC macro average (currently
relying on sklearn)

incompatibilities

pipeline

* 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

internal functions and access is only intended through `ROCAUCScore`,
make the functions for roc_auc_score adapted from scikit-learn private.

Check that the training instances correspond with the multilabel flag,
adding the multilabel flag if required.

* 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.
