The `PhraseMatcher` lets you efficiently match large terminology lists. While
|
|
the [`Matcher`](/api/matcher) lets you match sequences based on lists of token
|
|
descriptions, the `PhraseMatcher` accepts match patterns in the form of `Doc`
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
## PhraseMatcher.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Create the rule-based `PhraseMatcher`. Setting a different `attr` to match on
|
|
will change the token attributes that will be compared to determine a match. By
|
|
default, the incoming `Doc` is checked for sequences of tokens with the same
|
|
`ORTH` value, i.e. the verbatim token text. Matching on the attribute `LOWER`
|
|
will result in case-insensitive matching, since only the lowercase token texts
|
|
are compared. In theory, it's also possible to match on sequences of the same
|
|
part-of-speech tags or dependency labels.
|
|
|
|
If `validate=True` is set, additional validation is performed when pattern are
|
|
added. At the moment, it will check whether a `Doc` has attributes assigned that
|
|
aren't necessary to produce the matches (for example, part-of-speech tags if the
|
|
`PhraseMatcher` matches on the token text). Since this can often lead to
|
|
significantly worse performance when creating the pattern, a `UserWarning` will
|
|
be shown.

> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> from spacy.matcher import PhraseMatcher
|
|
> matcher = PhraseMatcher(nlp.vocab)
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| --------------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `vocab` | `Vocab` | The vocabulary object, which must be shared with the documents the matcher will operate on. |
|
|
| `attr` <Tag variant="new">2.1</Tag> | int / unicode | The token attribute to match on. Defaults to `ORTH`, i.e. the verbatim token text. |
|
|
| `validate` <Tag variant="new">2.1</Tag> | bool | Validate patterns added to the matcher. |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | `PhraseMatcher` | The newly constructed object. |
|
|
|
|
<Infobox title="Changed in v2.1" variant="warning">
|
|
|
|
As of v2.1, the `PhraseMatcher` doesn't have a phrase length limit anymore, so
|
|
the `max_length` argument is now deprecated.
|
|
|
|
</Infobox>
|
|
|
|
## PhraseMatcher.\_\_call\_\_ {#call tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Find all token sequences matching the supplied patterns on the `Doc`.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> from spacy.matcher import PhraseMatcher
|
|
>
|
|
> matcher = PhraseMatcher(nlp.vocab)
|
|
> matcher.add("OBAMA", None, nlp("Barack Obama"))
|
|
> doc = nlp("Barack Obama lifts America one last time in emotional farewell")
|
|
> matches = matcher(doc)
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ----------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| `doc` | `Doc` | The document to match over. |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | list | A list of `(match_id, start, end)` tuples, describing the matches. A match tuple describes a span `doc[start:end]`. The `match_id` is the ID of the added match pattern. |
|
|
|
|
## PhraseMatcher.pipe {#pipe tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Match a stream of documents, yielding them in turn.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> from spacy.matcher import PhraseMatcher
|
|
> matcher = PhraseMatcher(nlp.vocab)
|
|
> for doc in matcher.pipe(texts, batch_size=50):
|
|
> pass
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ------------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `docs` | iterable | A stream of documents. |
|
|
| `batch_size` | int | The number of documents to accumulate into a working set. |
|
|
| **YIELDS** | `Doc` | Documents, in order. |
|
|
|
|
## PhraseMatcher.\_\_len\_\_ {#len tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Get the number of rules added to the matcher. Note that this only returns the
|
|
number of rules (identical with the number of IDs), not the number of individual
|
|
patterns.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> matcher = PhraseMatcher(nlp.vocab)
|
|
> assert len(matcher) == 0
|
|
> matcher.add("OBAMA", None, nlp("Barack Obama"))
|
|
> assert len(matcher) == 1
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ----------- | ---- | -------------------- |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | int | The number of rules. |
|
|
|
|
## PhraseMatcher.\_\_contains\_\_ {#contains tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Check whether the matcher contains rules for a match ID.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> matcher = PhraseMatcher(nlp.vocab)
|
|
> assert "OBAMA" not in matcher
|
|
> matcher.add("OBAMA", None, nlp("Barack Obama"))
|
|
> assert "OBAMA" in matcher
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ----------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `key` | unicode | The match ID. |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | bool | Whether the matcher contains rules for this match ID. |
|
|
|
|
## PhraseMatcher.add {#add tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Add a rule to the matcher, consisting of an ID key, one or more patterns, and a
|
|
callback function to act on the matches. The callback function will receive the
|
|
arguments `matcher`, `doc`, `i` and `matches`. If a pattern already exists for
|
|
the given ID, the patterns will be extended. An `on_match` callback will be
|
|
overwritten.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> def on_match(matcher, doc, id, matches):
|
|
> print('Matched!', matches)
|
|
>
|
|
> matcher = PhraseMatcher(nlp.vocab)
|
|
> matcher.add("OBAMA", on_match, nlp("Barack Obama"))
|
|
> matcher.add("HEALTH", on_match, nlp("health care reform"),
|
|
> nlp("healthcare reform"))
|
|
> doc = nlp("Barack Obama urges Congress to find courage to defend his healthcare reforms")
|
|
> matches = matcher(doc)
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ---------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `match_id` | unicode | An ID for the thing you're matching. |
|
|
| `on_match` | callable or `None` | Callback function to act on matches. Takes the arguments `matcher`, `doc`, `i` and `matches`. |
|
|
| `*docs` | `Doc` | `Doc` objects of the phrases to match. |
|
|
|
|
## PhraseMatcher.remove {#remove tag="method" new="2.2"}
|
|
|
|
Remove a rule from the matcher by match ID. A `KeyError` is raised if the key
|
|
does not exist.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> matcher = PhraseMatcher(nlp.vocab)
|
|
> matcher.add("OBAMA", None, nlp("Barack Obama"))
|
|
> assert "OBAMA" in matcher
|
|
> matcher.remove("OBAMA")
|
|
> assert "OBAMA" not in matcher
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ----- | ------- | ------------------------- |
|
|
| `key` | unicode | The ID of the match rule. |
