* Refactor the Scorer to improve flexibility
Refactor the `Scorer` to improve flexibility for arbitrary pipeline
components.
* Individual pipeline components provide their own `evaluate` methods
that score a list of `Example`s and return a dictionary of scores
* `Scorer` is initialized either:
* with a provided pipeline containing components to be scored
* with a default pipeline containing the built-in statistical
components (senter, tagger, morphologizer, parser, ner)
* `Scorer.score` evaluates a list of `Example`s and returns a dictionary
of scores referring to the scores provided by the components in the
pipeline
Significant differences:
* `tags_acc` is renamed to `tag_acc` to be consistent with `token_acc`
and the new `morph_acc`, `pos_acc`, and `lemma_acc`
* Scoring is no longer cumulative: `Scorer.score` scores a list of
examples rather than a single example and does not retain any state
about previously scored examples
* PRF values in the returned scores are no longer multiplied by 100
* Add kwargs to Morphologizer.evaluate
* Create generalized scoring methods in Scorer
* Generalized static scoring methods are added to `Scorer`
* Methods require an attribute (either on Token or Doc) that is
used to key the returned scores
Naming differences:
* `uas`, `las`, and `las_per_type` in the scores dict are renamed to
`dep_uas`, `dep_las`, and `dep_las_per_type`
Scoring differences:
* `Doc.sents` is now scored as spans rather than on sentence-initial
token positions so that `Doc.sents` and `Doc.ents` can be scored with
the same method (this lowers scores since a single incorrect sentence
start results in two incorrect spans)
* Simplify / extend hasattr check for eval method
* Add hasattr check to tokenizer scoring
* Simplify to hasattr check for component scoring
* Reset Example alignment if docs are set
Reset the Example alignment if either doc is set in case the
tokenization has changed.
* Add PRF tokenization scoring for tokens as spans
Add PRF scores for tokens as character spans. The scores are:
* token_acc: # correct tokens / # gold tokens
* token_p/r/f: PRF for (token.idx, token.idx + len(token))
* Add docstring to Scorer.score_tokenization
* Rename component.evaluate() to component.score()

To fix the slow tokenizer URL (#4374) and allow `token_match` to take
priority over prefixes and suffixes by default, introduce a new
tokenizer option for a token match pattern that's applied after prefixes
and suffixes but before infixes.
* Use inline flags in token_match patterns
Use inline flags in `token_match` patterns so that serializing does not
lose the flag information.
* Modify inline flag
* Modify inline flag
* Revert changes to priority of `token_match` so that it has priority
over all other tokenizer patterns
* Add lookahead and potentially slow lookbehind back to the default URL
pattern
* Expand character classes in URL pattern to improve matching around
lookaheads and lookbehinds related to #4882
* Revert changes to Hungarian tokenizer
* Revert (xfail) several URL tests to their status before #4374
* Update `tokenizer.explain()` and docs accordingly
* Improve setup.py and call into Cython directly
* Add numpy to setup_requires
* Improve clean helper
* Update setup.cfg
* Try if it builds without pyproject.toml
* Update MANIFEST.in
* Detect more empty matches in tokenizer.explain()
* Include a few languages in explain non-slow tests
Mark a few languages in tokenizer.explain() tests as not slow so they're
run by default.
* Expose tokenizer rules as a property
Expose the tokenizer rules property in the same way as the other core
properties. (The cache resetting is overkill, but consistent with
`from_bytes` for now.)
Add tests and update Tokenizer API docs.
* Update Hungarian punctuation to remove empty string
Update Hungarian punctuation definitions so that `_units` does not match
an empty string.
* Use _load_special_tokenization consistently
Use `_load_special_tokenization()` and have it to handle `None` checks.
* Fix precedence of `token_match` vs. special cases
Remove `token_match` check from `_split_affixes()` so that special cases
have precedence over `token_match`. `token_match` is checked only before
infixes are split.
* Add `make_debug_doc()` to the Tokenizer
Add `make_debug_doc()` to the Tokenizer as a working implementation of
the pseudo-code in the docs.
Add a test (marked as slow) that checks that `nlp.tokenizer()` and
`nlp.tokenizer.make_debug_doc()` return the same non-whitespace tokens
for all languages that have `examples.sentences` that can be imported.
* Update tokenization usage docs
Update pseudo-code and algorithm description to correspond to
`nlp.tokenizer.make_debug_doc()` with example debugging usage.
Add more examples for customizing tokenizers while preserving the
existing defaults.
Minor edits / clarifications.
* Revert "Update Hungarian punctuation to remove empty string"
This reverts commit f0a577f7a5.
* Rework `make_debug_doc()` as `explain()`
Rework `make_debug_doc()` as `explain()`, which returns a list of
`(pattern_string, token_string)` tuples rather than a non-standard
`Doc`. Update docs and tests accordingly, leaving the visualization for
future work.
* Handle cases with bad tokenizer patterns
Detect when tokenizer patterns match empty prefixes and suffixes so that
`explain()` does not hang on bad patterns.
* Remove unused displacy image
* Add tokenizer.explain() to usage docs
* Generalize handling of tokenizer special cases
Handle tokenizer special cases more generally by using the Matcher
internally to match special cases after the affix/token_match
tokenization is complete.
Instead of only matching special cases while processing balanced or
nearly balanced prefixes and suffixes, this recognizes special cases in
a wider range of contexts:
* Allows arbitrary numbers of prefixes/affixes around special cases
* Allows special cases separated by infixes
Existing tests/settings that couldn't be preserved as before:
* The emoticon '")' is no longer a supported special case
* The emoticon ':)' in "example:)" is a false positive again
When merged with #4258 (or the relevant cache bugfix), the affix and
token_match properties should be modified to flush and reload all
special cases to use the updated internal tokenization with the Matcher.
* Remove accidentally added test case
* Really remove accidentally added test
* Reload special cases when necessary
Reload special cases when affixes or token_match are modified. Skip
reloading during initialization.
* Update error code number
* Fix offset and whitespace in Matcher special cases
* Fix offset bugs when merging and splitting tokens
* Set final whitespace on final token in inserted special case
* Improve cache flushing in tokenizer
* Separate cache and specials memory (temporarily)
* Flush cache when adding special cases
* Repeated `self._cache = PreshMap()` and `self._specials = PreshMap()`
are necessary due to this bug:
https://github.com/explosion/preshed/issues/21
* Remove reinitialized PreshMaps on cache flush
* Update UD bin scripts
* Update imports for `bin/`
* Add all currently supported languages
* Update subtok merger for new Matcher validation
* Modify blinded check to look at tokens instead of lemmas (for corpora
with tokens but not lemmas like Telugu)
* Use special Matcher only for cases with affixes
* Reinsert specials cache checks during normal tokenization for special
cases as much as possible
* Additionally include specials cache checks while splitting on infixes
* Since the special Matcher needs consistent affix-only tokenization
for the special cases themselves, introduce the argument
`with_special_cases` in order to do tokenization with or without
specials cache checks
* After normal tokenization, postprocess with special cases Matcher for
special cases containing affixes
* Replace PhraseMatcher with Aho-Corasick
Replace PhraseMatcher with the Aho-Corasick algorithm over numpy arrays
of the hash values for the relevant attribute. The implementation is
based on FlashText.
The speed should be similar to the previous PhraseMatcher. It is now
possible to easily remove match IDs and matches don't go missing with
large keyword lists / vocabularies.
Fixes#4308.
* Restore support for pickling
* Fix internal keyword add/remove for numpy arrays
* Add test for #4248, clean up test
* Improve efficiency of special cases handling
* Use PhraseMatcher instead of Matcher
* Improve efficiency of merging/splitting special cases in document
* Process merge/splits in one pass without repeated token shifting
* Merge in place if no splits
* Update error message number
* Remove UD script modifications
Only used for timing/testing, should be a separate PR
* Remove final traces of UD script modifications
* Update UD bin scripts
* Update imports for `bin/`
* Add all currently supported languages
* Update subtok merger for new Matcher validation
* Modify blinded check to look at tokens instead of lemmas (for corpora
with tokens but not lemmas like Telugu)
* Add missing loop for match ID set in search loop
* Remove cruft in matching loop for partial matches
There was a bit of unnecessary code left over from FlashText in the
matching loop to handle partial token matches, which we don't have with
PhraseMatcher.
* Replace dict trie with MapStruct trie
* Fix how match ID hash is stored/added
* Update fix for match ID vocab
* Switch from map_get_unless_missing to map_get
* Switch from numpy array to Token.get_struct_attr
Access token attributes directly in Doc instead of making a copy of the
relevant values in a numpy array.
Add unsatisfactory warning for hash collision with reserved terminal
hash key. (Ideally it would change the reserved terminal hash and redo
the whole trie, but for now, I'm hoping there won't be collisions.)
* Restructure imports to export find_matches
* Implement full remove()
Remove unnecessary trie paths and free unused maps.
Parallel to Matcher, raise KeyError when attempting to remove a match ID
that has not been added.
* Switch to PhraseMatcher.find_matches
* Switch to local cdef functions for span filtering
* Switch special case reload threshold to variable
Refer to variable instead of hard-coded threshold
* Move more of special case retokenize to cdef nogil
Move as much of the special case retokenization to nogil as possible.
* Rewrap sort as stdsort for OS X
* Rewrap stdsort with specific types
* Switch to qsort
* Fix merge
* Improve cmp functions
* Fix realloc
* Fix realloc again
* Initialize span struct while retokenizing
* Temporarily skip retokenizing
* Revert "Move more of special case retokenize to cdef nogil"
This reverts commit 0b7e52c797.
* Revert "Switch to qsort"
This reverts commit a98d71a942.
* Fix specials check while caching
* Modify URL test with emoticons
The multiple suffix tests result in the emoticon `:>`, which is now
retokenized into one token as a special case after the suffixes are
split off.
* Refactor _apply_special_cases()
* Use cdef ints for span info used in multiple spots
* Modify _filter_special_spans() to prefer earlier
Parallel to #4414, modify _filter_special_spans() so that the earlier
span is preferred for overlapping spans of the same length.
* Replace MatchStruct with Entity
Replace MatchStruct with Entity since the existing Entity struct is
nearly identical.
* Replace Entity with more general SpanC
* Replace MatchStruct with SpanC
* Add error in debug-data if no dev docs are available (see #4575)

* Match a wider range of URI schemes
spaCy v2.1 switched to the built-in re module, where v2.0 had been using
the third-party regex library. When the tokenizer was deserialized on
Python2.7, the `re.compile()` function was called with expressions that
featured escaped unicode codepoints that were not in Python2.7's unicode
database.
Problems occurred when we had a range between two of these unknown
codepoints, like this:
```
'[\\uAA77-\\uAA79]'
```
On Python2.7, the unknown codepoints are not unescaped correctly,
resulting in arbitrary out-of-range characters being matched by the
expression.
This problem does not occur if we instead have a range between two
unicode literals, rather than the escape sequences. To fix the bug, we
therefore add a new compat function that unescapes unicode sequences
using the `ast.literal_eval()` function. Care is taken to ensure we
do not also escape non-unicode sequences.
Closes#3356.
- [x] I have submitted the spaCy Contributor Agreement.
- [x] I ran the tests, and all new and existing tests passed.
- [x] My changes don't require a change to the documentation, or if they do, I've added all required information.
