title: SpanCategorizer
tag: class,experimental
source: spacy/pipeline/spancat.py
version: 3.1
teaser: 'Pipeline component for labeling potentially overlapping spans of text'
api_base_class: /api/pipe
api_string_name: spancat
api_trainable: true
---
A span categorizer consists of two parts: a [suggester function](#suggesters)
that proposes candidate spans, which may or may not overlap, and a labeler model
that predicts zero or more labels for each candidate.
Predicted spans will be saved in a [`SpanGroup`](/api/spangroup) on the doc.
Individual span scores can be found in `spangroup.attrs["scores"]`.
## Assigned Attributes {id="assigned-attributes"}
Predictions will be saved to `Doc.spans[spans_key]` as a
[`SpanGroup`](/api/spangroup). The scores for the spans in the `SpanGroup` will
be saved in `SpanGroup.attrs["scores"]`.
`spans_key` defaults to `"sc"`, but can be passed as a parameter.
| Location | Value |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Doc.spans[spans_key]` | The annotated spans. ~~SpanGroup~~ |
| `Doc.spans[spans_key].attrs["scores"]` | The score for each span in the `SpanGroup`. ~~Floats1d~~ |
## Config and implementation {id="config"}
The default config is defined by the pipeline component factory and describes
how the component should be configured. You can override its settings via the
`config` argument on [`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe) or in your
[`config.cfg` for training](/usage/training#config). See the
[model architectures](/api/architectures) documentation for details on the
architectures and their arguments and hyperparameters.
> #### Example

> ```python
> from spacy.pipeline.spancat import DEFAULT_SPANCAT_MODEL
> config = {
> "threshold": 0.5,
> "spans_key": "labeled_spans",
> "max_positive": None,
> "model": DEFAULT_SPANCAT_MODEL,
> "suggester": {"@misc": "spacy.ngram_suggester.v1", "sizes": [1, 2, 3]},

> nlp.add_pipe("spancat", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Description |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `suggester` | A function that [suggests spans](#suggesters). Spans are returned as a ragged array with two integer columns, for the start and end positions. Defaults to [`ngram_suggester`](#ngram_suggester). ~~Callable[[Iterable[Doc], Optional[Ops]], Ragged]~~ |
| `model` | A model instance that is given a a list of documents and `(start, end)` indices representing candidate span offsets. The model predicts a probability for each category for each span. Defaults to [SpanCategorizer](/api/architectures#SpanCategorizer). ~~Model[Tuple[List[Doc], Ragged], Floats2d]~~ |
| `spans_key` | Key of the [`Doc.spans`](/api/doc#spans) dict to save the spans under. During initialization and training, the component will look for spans on the reference document under the same key. Defaults to `"sc"`. ~~str~~ |
| `threshold` | Minimum probability to consider a prediction positive. Spans with a positive prediction will be saved on the Doc. Defaults to `0.5`. ~~float~~ |
| `max_positive` | Maximum number of labels to consider positive per span. Defaults to `None`, indicating no limit. ~~Optional[int]~~ |
| `scorer` | The scoring method. Defaults to [`Scorer.score_spans`](/api/scorer#score_spans) for `Doc.spans[spans_key]` with overlapping spans allowed. ~~Optional[Callable]~~ |
| `save_activations` <Tag variant="new">4.0</Tag> | Save activations in `Doc` when annotating. Saved activations are `"indices"` and `"scores"`. ~~Union[bool, list[str]]~~ |

Create a new pipeline instance. In your application, you would normally use a
shortcut for this and instantiate the component using its string name and
[`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#create_pipe).
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `vocab` | The shared vocabulary. ~~Vocab~~ |

| _keyword-only_ | |
| `spans_key` | Key of the [`Doc.spans`](/api/doc#sans) dict to save the spans under. During initialization and training, the component will look for spans on the reference document under the same key. Defaults to `"sc"`. ~~str~~ |

## SpanCategorizer.\_\_call\_\_ {id="call",tag="method"}
Apply the pipe to one document. The document is modified in place, and returned.
This usually happens under the hood when the `nlp` object is called on a text
and all pipeline components are applied to the `Doc` in order. Both
[`__call__`](/api/spancategorizer#call) and [`pipe`](/api/spancategorizer#pipe)
delegate to the [`predict`](/api/spancategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/spancategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
> spancat = nlp.add_pipe("spancat")
> # This usually happens under the hood
> processed = spancat(doc)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
## SpanCategorizer.pipe {id="pipe",tag="method"}
Apply the pipe to a stream of documents. This usually happens under the hood
when the `nlp` object is called on a text and all pipeline components are
applied to the `Doc` in order. Both [`__call__`](/api/spancategorizer#call) and
[`pipe`](/api/spancategorizer#pipe) delegate to the
[`predict`](/api/spancategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/spancategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> spancat = nlp.add_pipe("spancat")
> for doc in spancat.pipe(docs, batch_size=50):
> pass
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `stream` | A stream of documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `batch_size` | The number of documents to buffer. Defaults to `128`. ~~int~~ |
| **YIELDS** | The processed documents in order. ~~Doc~~ |
## SpanCategorizer.initialize {id="initialize",tag="method"}
Initialize the component for training. `get_examples` should be a function that
returns an iterable of [`Example`](/api/example) objects. **At least one example
should be supplied.** The data examples are used to **initialize the model** of
the component and can either be the full training data or a representative
sample. Initialization includes validating the network,
[inferring missing shapes](https://thinc.ai/docs/usage-models#validation) and
setting up the label scheme based on the data. This method is typically called
by [`Language.initialize`](/api/language#initialize) and lets you customize
arguments it receives via the
[`[initialize.components]`](/api/data-formats#config-initialize) block in the
config.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> spancat = nlp.add_pipe("spancat")
> spancat.initialize(lambda: examples, nlp=nlp)
> ```
>
> ```ini
> ### config.cfg
> [initialize.components.spancat]
>
> [initialize.components.spancat.labels]
> @readers = "spacy.read_labels.v1"

| `nlp` | The current `nlp` object. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Language]~~ |
| `labels` | The label information to add to the component, as provided by the [`label_data`](#label_data) property after initialization. To generate a reusable JSON file from your data, you should run the [`init labels`](/api/cli#init-labels) command. If no labels are provided, the `get_examples` callback is used to extract the labels from the data, which may be a lot slower. ~~Optional[Iterable[str]]~~ |
## SpanCategorizer.predict {id="predict",tag="method"}

predicted scores.

| -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `params` | The parameter values to use in the model. ~~dict~~ |
## SpanCategorizer.add_label {id="add_label",tag="method"}
Add a new label to the pipe. Raises an error if the output dimension is already
set, or if the model has already been fully [initialized](#initialize). Note
that you don't have to call this method if you provide a **representative data
sample** to the [`initialize`](#initialize) method. In this case, all labels
found in the sample will be automatically added to the model, and the output
dimension will be [inferred](/usage/layers-architectures#thinc-shape-inference)
automatically.
