This one seems to be correct? Still unsure, but it performs okay
* Try to implement the von Mises-Fisher loss
This one's definitely not right yet.
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.

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

## Description
Update the training examples in `/examples/training` to show usage of spaCy's `minibatch` and `compounding` helpers ([see here](https://spacy.io/usage/training#tips-batch-size) for details). The lack of batching in the examples has caused some confusion in the past, especially for beginners who would copy-paste the examples, update them with large training sets and experienced slow and unsatisfying results.

* raise error when setting overlapping entities as doc.ents (#2880)
* Fix out-of-bounds access in NER training
The helper method state.B(1) gets the index of the first token of the
buffer, or -1 if no such token exists. Normally this is safe because we
pass this to functions like state.safe_get(), which returns an empty
token. Here we used it directly as an array index, which is not okay!
This error may have been the cause of out-of-bounds access errors during
training. Similar errors may still be around, so much be hunted down.
Hunting this one down took a long time...I printed out values across
training runs and diffed, looking for points of divergence between
runs, when no randomness should be allowed.

These experiments were completed a few weeks ago, but I didn't make the PR, pending model release.
Token vector width: 128->96
Hidden width: 128->64
Embed size: 5000->2000
Dropout: 0.2->0.1
Updated optimizer defaults (unclear how important?)
This should improve speed, model size and load time, while keeping
similar or slightly better accuracy.
The tl;dr is we prefer to prevent over-fitting by reducing model size,
rather than using more dropout.
Sorry, don't mean to be nitpicky, I just noticed this when going through the CLI and thought it was a quick fix. That said, if this was intention than please let me know.
* subword_features: Controls whether subword features are used in the
word embeddings. True by default (specifically, prefix, suffix and word
shape). Should be set to False for languages like Chinese and Japanese.
* conv_depth: Depth of the convolutional layers. Defaults to 4.
* Go back to using requests instead of urllib (closes#2320)
Fewer dependencies are good, but this one was simply causing too many other problems around SSL verification and Python 2/3 compatibility. requests is a popular enough package that it's okay for spaCy to depend on it – and this will hopefully make model downloads less flakey.
* Only download model if not installed (see #1456)
Use #egg=model==version to allow pip to check for existing installations. The download is only started if no installation matching the package/version is found. Fixes a long-standing inconvenience.
* Pass additional options to pip when installing model (resolves#1456)
Treat all additional arguments passed to the download command as pip options to allow user to customise the command. For example:
python -m spacy download en --user
* Add CLI option to enable installing model package dependencies
* Revert "Add CLI option to enable installing model package dependencies"
