|
|
| spaCy features an extremely fast statistical entity recognition system,
|
|
| that assigns labels to contiguous spans of tokens. The default model
|
|
| identifies a variety of named and numeric entities, including companies,
|
|
| locations, organizations and products. You can add arbitrary classes to
|
|
| the entity recognition system, and update the model with new examples.

import spacy
|
|
nlp = spacy.load('en')
|
|
doc = nlp(u'London is a big city in the United Kingdom.')
|
|
for ent in doc.ents:
|
|
print(ent.label_, ent.text)
|
|
# GPE London
|
|
# GPE United Kingdom
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| The standard way to access entity annotations is the
|
|
| #[+api("doc#ents") #[code doc.ents]] property, which produces a sequence
|
|
| of #[+api("span") #[code Span]] objects. The entity type is accessible
|
|
| either as an integer ID or as a string, using the attributes
|
|
| #[code ent.label] and #[code ent.label_]. The #[code Span] object acts
|
|
| as a sequence of tokens, so you can iterate over the entity or index into
|
|
| it. You can also get the text form of the whole entity, as though it were
|
|
| a single token. See the #[+api("span") API reference] for more details.
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| You can access token entity annotations using the #[code token.ent_iob]
|
|
| and #[code token.ent_type] attributes. The #[code token.ent_iob]
|
|
| attribute indicates whether an entity starts, continues or ends on the
|
|
| tag (In, Begin, Out).
|
|
|
|
+code("Example").
|
|
doc = nlp(u'London is a big city in the United Kingdom.')
|
|
print(doc[0].text, doc[0].ent_iob, doc[0].ent_type_)
|
|
# (u'London', 2, u'GPE')

# (u'is', 3, u'')

+h(2, "setting") Setting entity annotations
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| To ensure that the sequence of token annotations remains consistent, you
|
|
| have to set entity annotations at the document level — you can't write
|
|
| directly to the #[code token.ent_iob] or #[code token.ent_type]
|
|
| attributes. The easiest way to set entities is to assign to the
|
|
| #[code doc.ents] attribute.
|
|
|
|
+code("Example").
|
|
doc = nlp(u'London is a big city in the United Kingdom.')
|
|
doc.ents = []
|
|
assert doc[0].ent_type_ == ''
|
|
doc.ents = [Span(doc, 0, 1, label=doc.vocab.strings['GPE'])]
|
|
assert doc[0].ent_type_ == 'GPE'
|
|
doc.ents = []
|
|
doc.ents = [(u'LondonCity', doc.vocab.strings['GPE']), 0, 1)]
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| The value you assign should be a sequence, the values of which
|
|
| can either be #[code Span] objects, or #[code (ent_id, ent_type, start, end)]
|
|
| tuples, where #[code start] and #[code end] are token offsets that
|
|
| describe the slice of the document that should be annotated.
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| You can also assign entity annotations using the #[code doc.from_array()]
|
|
| method. To do this, you should include both the #[code ENT_TYPE] and the
|
|
| #[code ENT_IOB] attributes in the array you're importing from.
|
|
|
|
+code("Example").
|

from spacy.attrs import ENT_IOB, ENT_TYPE
|

import numpy
|
|
|
|
doc = nlp.make_doc(u'London is a big city in the United Kingdom.')
|
|
assert list(doc.ents) == []
|
|
header = [ENT_IOB, ENT_TYPE]
|
|
attr_array = numpy.zeros((len(doc), len(header)))
|
|
attr_array[0, 0] = 2 # B
|
|
attr_array[0, 1] = doc.vocab.strings[u'GPE']
|

doc.from_array(header, attr_array)
|
|
assert list(doc.ents)[0].text == u'London'

|
|
| Finally, you can always write to the underlying struct, if you compile
|
|
| a Cython function. This is easy to do, and allows you to write efficient
|
|
| native code.
|
|
|
|
+code("Example").
|
|
# cython: infer_types=True
|
|
from spacy.tokens.doc cimport Doc
|
|
|
|
cpdef set_entity(Doc doc, int start, int end, int ent_type):
|
|
for i in range(start, end):
|
|
doc.c[i].ent_type = ent_type
|
|
doc.c[start].ent_iob = 3
|
|
for i in range(start+1, end):
|
|
doc.c[i].ent_iob = 2
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| Obviously, if you write directly to the array of #[code TokenC*] structs,
|
|
| you'll have responsibility for ensuring that the data is left in a
|
|
| consistent state.

|
|
| lets you explore an entity recognition model's behaviour interactively.
|
|
| If you're training a model, it's very useful to run the visualization
|
|
| server yourself. To help you do that, we've open-sourced both the

|
| The #[+api("load") spacy.load()] function configures a pipeline that
|
|
| includes all of the available annotators for the given ID. In the example
|
|
| above, the #[code 'en'] ID tells spaCy to load the default English

+h(2, "updating") Training and updating

p
|
|
| To provide training examples to the entity recogniser, you'll first need
|
|
| to create an instance of the #[code GoldParse] class. You can specify

|
| your annotations in a stand-off format or as token tags.
|
|
|
|
+code.

|

|

|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| If a character offset in your entity annotations don't fall on a token
|
|
| boundary, the #[code GoldParse] class will treat that annotation as a
|
|
| missing value. This allows for more realistic training, because the
|
|
| entity recogniser is allowed to learn from examples that may feature
|
|
| tokenizer errors.
|
|
|
|
+aside-code("Example").
|
|
doc = Doc(nlp.vocab, [u'rats', u'make', u'good', u'pets'])

|
|
ner = EntityRecognizer(nlp.vocab, entity_types=['ANIMAL'])
|
|
ner.update(doc, gold)
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| You can also provide token-level entity annotation, using the
|
|
| following tagging scheme to describe the entity boundaries:
|
|
|
|
+table([ "Tag", "Description" ])
|
|
+row
|
|
+cell #[code #[span.u-color-theme B] EGIN]
|

+cell The first token of a multi-token entity.
|
|
|
|
+row
|
|
+cell #[code #[span.u-color-theme I] N]
|
|
+cell An inner token of a multi-token entity.
|
|
|
|
+row
|
|
+cell #[code #[span.u-color-theme L] AST]
|
|
+cell The final token of a multi-token entity.
|
|
|
|
+row
|
|
+cell #[code #[span.u-color-theme U] NIT]
|
|
+cell A single-token entity.
|
|
|
|
+row
|
|
+cell #[code #[span.u-color-theme O] UT]
|
|
+cell A non-entity token.
|
|
|
|
+aside("Why BILUO, not IOB?")
|
|
| There are several coding schemes for encoding entity annotations as
|
|
| token tags. These coding schemes are equally expressive, but not
|
|
| necessarily equally learnable.
|
|
| #[+a("http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W09-1119") Ratinov and Roth]
|
|
| showed that the minimal #[strong Begin], #[strong In], #[strong Out]
|
|
| scheme was more difficult to learn than the #[strong BILUO] scheme that
|
|
| we use, which explicitly marks boundary tokens.
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| spaCy translates the character offsets into this scheme, in order to
|
|
| decide the cost of each action given the current state of the entity
|
|
| recogniser. The costs are then used to calculate the gradient of the
|
|
| loss, to train the model. The exact algorithm is a pastiche of
|
|
| well-known methods, and is not currently described in any single
|
|
| publication. The model is a greedy transition-based parser guided by a
|
|
| linear model whose weights are learned using the averaged perceptron
|
|
| loss, via the #[+a("http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/C12-1059") dynamic oracle]
|
|
| imitation learning strategy. The transition system is equivalent to the
|
|
| BILOU tagging scheme.
