Quick Start
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. py:currentmodule:: spacy
|
|
|
|
|
|
With Python 2.7 or Python 3, using Linux or OSX, run:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pip install spacy
|
|
$ python -m spacy.en.download
|
|
|
|
.. _300 mb of data: http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/media.spacynlp.com/en_data_all-0.4.tgz
|
|
|
|
|
|
The download command fetches and installs about 300mb of data, for the
|
|
parser model and word vectors, which it installs within the spacy.en package directory.
|
|
|
|
If you're stuck using a server with an old version of Python, and you don't
|
|
have root access, I've prepared a bootstrap script to help you compile a local
|
|
Python install. Run:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/honnibal/spaCy/master/bootstrap_python_env.sh | bash && source .env/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
The other way to install the package is to clone the github repository, and
|
|
build it from source. This installs an additional dependency, Cython.
|
|
If you're using Python 2, I also recommend installing fabric and fabtools ---
|
|
this is how I build the project.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/honnibal/spaCy.git
|
|
$ cd spaCy
|
|
$ virtualenv .env && source .env/bin/activate
|
|
$ export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`
|
|
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
$ python setup.py build_ext --inplace
|
|
$ python -m spacy.en.download
|
|
$ pip install pytest
|
|
$ py.test tests/
|
|
|
|
Python packaging is awkward at the best of times, and it's particularly tricky
|
|
with C extensions, built via Cython, requiring large data files. So, please
|
|
report issues as you encounter them, and bear with me :)

Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The main entry-point is :meth:`en.English.__call__`, which accepts a unicode string
|
|
as an argument, and returns a :py:class:`tokens.Doc` object. You can
|
|
iterate over it to get :py:class:`tokens.Token` objects, which provide
|
|
a convenient API:
|
|
|
|
>>> from __future__ import unicode_literals # If Python 2
|
|
>>> from spacy.en import English
|
|
>>> nlp = English()
|
|
>>> tokens = nlp(u'I ate the pizza with anchovies.')
|
|
>>> pizza = tokens[3]
|
|
>>> (pizza.orth, pizza.orth_, pizza.head.lemma, pizza.head.lemma_)
|
|
... (14702, u'pizza', 14702, u'eat')
|
|
|
|
spaCy maps all strings to sequential integer IDs --- a common trick in NLP.
|
|
If an attribute `Token.foo` is an integer ID, then `Token.foo_` is the string,
|
|
e.g. `pizza.orth` and `pizza.orth_` provide the integer ID and the string of
|
|
the original orthographic form of the word.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: en.English.__call__ is stateful --- it has an important **side-effect**.
|
|
|
|
When it processes a previously unseen word, it increments the ID counter,
|
|
assigns the ID to the string, and writes the mapping in
|
|
:py:data:`English.vocab.strings` (instance of
|
|
:py:class:`strings.StringStore`).
|
|
Future releases will feature a way to reconcile mappings, but for now, you
|
|
should only work with one instance of the pipeline at a time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Most of the) API at a glance
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Process the string:**
|
|
|
|
.. py:class:: spacy.en.English(self, data_dir=join(dirname(__file__), 'data'))
|
|
|
|
.. py:method:: __call__(self, text: unicode, tag=True, parse=True, entity=True, merge_mwes=False) --> Doc
|
|
|
|
+-----------------+--------------+--------------+
|
|
| Attribute | Type | Its API |
|
|
+=================+==============+==============+
|
|
| vocab | Vocab | __getitem__ |
|
|
+-----------------+--------------+--------------+
|
|
| vocab.strings | StingStore | __getitem__ |
|
|
+-----------------+--------------+--------------+
|
|
| tokenizer | Tokenizer | __call__ |
|
|
+-----------------+--------------+--------------+
|
|
| tagger | EnPosTagger | __call__ |
|
|
+-----------------+--------------+--------------+
|
|
| parser | GreedyParser | __call__ |
|
|
+-----------------+--------------+--------------+
|
|
| entity | GreedyParser | __call__ |
|
|
+-----------------+--------------+--------------+
|
|
|
|
**Get dict or numpy array:**
|
|
|
|
.. py:method:: tokens.Doc.to_array(self, attr_ids: List[int]) --> ndarray[ndim=2, dtype=long]
|
|
|
|
.. py:method:: tokens.Doc.count_by(self, attr_id: int) --> Dict[int, int]
|
|
|
|
**Get Token objects**
|
|
|
|
.. py:method:: tokens.Doc.__getitem__(self, i) --> Token
|
|
|
|
.. py:method:: tokens.Doc.__iter__(self) --> Iterator[Token]
|
|
|
|
**Get sentence or named entity spans**
|
|
|
|
.. py:attribute:: tokens.Doc.sents --> Iterator[Span]
|
|
|
|
.. py:attribute:: tokens.Doc.ents --> Iterator[Span]
|
|
|
|
You can iterate over a Span to access individual Doc, or access its
|
|
start, end or label.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Embedded word representenations**
|
|
|
|
.. py:attribute:: tokens.Token.repvec
|
|
|
|
.. py:attribute:: lexeme.Lexeme.repvec
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Navigate to tree- or string-neighbor tokens**
|
|
|
|
.. py:method:: nbor(self, i=1) --> Token
|
|
|
|
.. py:method:: child(self, i=1) --> Token
|
|
|
|
.. py:method:: sibling(self, i=1) --> Token
|
|
|
|
.. py:attribute:: head: Token
|
|
|
|
.. py:attribute:: dep: int
|
|
|
|
**Align to original string**

|
|
|
Padded with original whitespace.
|
|
|
|
.. py:attribute:: length: int
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. py:attribute:: idx: int
|
|
