* Improve handling of missing NER tags
GoldParse can accept missing NER tags, if entities is provided
in BILUO format (rather than as spans). Missing tags can be provided
as None values.
Fix bug that occurred when first tag was a None value. Closes#2603.
* Document specification of missing NER tags.
Fix a bug in the JSON streaming code that GoldCorpus uses. Escaped
slashes were being handled incorrectly. This bug caused low scores for
French in the early v2.1.0 alphas, because most of the data was not
being read in.
Fittingly, the document that triggered the bug was a Wikipedia article about
Perl. Parsing perl remains difficult!
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
* WIP: replace json/ujson with srsly
* Replace ujson in examples
Use regular json instead of srsly to make code easier to read and follow
* Update requirements
* Fix imports
* Fix typos
* Replace msgpack with srsly
* Fix warning
* Support nowrap setting in util.prints
* Tidy up and fix whitespace
* Simplify script and use read_jsonl helper
* Add JSON schemas (see #2928)
* Deprecate Doc.print_tree
Will be replaced with Doc.to_json, which will produce a unified format
* Add Doc.to_json() method (see #2928)
Converts Doc objects to JSON using the same unified format as the training data. Method also supports serializing selected custom attributes in the doc._. space.
* Remove outdated test
* Add write_json and write_jsonl helpers
* WIP: Update spacy train
* Tidy up spacy train
* WIP: Use wasabi for formatting
* Add GoldParse helpers for JSON format
* WIP: add debug-data command
* Fix typo
* Add missing import
* Update wasabi pin
* Add missing import
* 💫 Refactor CLI (#2943)
To be merged into #2932.
## Description
- [x] refactor CLI To use [`wasabi`](https://github.com/ines/wasabi)
- [x] use [`black`](https://github.com/ambv/black) for auto-formatting
- [x] add `flake8` config
- [x] move all messy UD-related scripts to `cli.ud`
- [x] make converters function that take the opened file and return the converted data (instead of having them handle the IO)

Our JSON training format is annoying to work with, and we've wanted to
retire it for some time. In the meantime, we can at least add some
missing functions to make it easier to live with.
This patch adds a function that generates the JSON format from a list
of Doc objects, one per paragraph. This should be a convenient way to handle
a lot of data conversions: whatever format you have the source
information in, you can use it to setup a Doc object. This approach
should offer better future-proofing as well. Hopefully, we can steadily
rewrite code that is sensitive to the current data-format, so that it
instead goes through this function. Then when we change the data format,
we won't have such a problem.

The TextCategorizer class is supposed to support multi-label
text classification, and allow training data to contain missing
values.
For this to work, the gradient of the loss should be 0 when labels
are missing. Instead, there was no way to actually denote "missing"
in the GoldParse class, and so the TextCategorizer class treated
the label set within gold.cats as complete.
To fix this, we change GoldParse.cats to be a dict instead of a list.
The GoldParse.cats dict should map to floats, with 1. denoting
'present' and 0. denoting 'absent'. Gradients are zeroed for categories
absent from the gold.cats dict. A nice bonus is that you can also set
values between 0 and 1 for partial membership. You can also set numeric
values, if you're using a text classification model that uses an
appropriate loss function.
Unfortunately this is a breaking change; although the functionality
was only recently introduced and hasn't been properly documented
yet. I've updated the example script accordingly.
