The Token Object
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
A Token represents a single word, punctuation or significant whitespace symbol.
|
|
|
|
Integer IDs are provided for all string features. The (unicode) string is
|
|
provided by an attribute of the same name followed by an underscore, e.g.
|
|
token.orth is an integer ID, token.orth\_ is the unicode value.
|
|
|
|
The only exception is the Token.string attribute, which is (unicode)
|
|
string-typed.
|
|
|
|
**String Features**
|
|
|
|
:code:`string`
|
|
The form of the word as it appears in the string, include trailing
|
|
whitespace. This is useful when you need to use linguistic features to
|
|
add inline mark-up to the string.
|
|
|
|
:code:`orth` / :code:`orth_`
|
|
The form of the word with no string normalization or processing, as it
|
|
appears in the string, without trailing whitespace.
|
|
|
|
:code:`lemma` / :code:`lemma_`
|
|
The "base" of the word, with no inflectional suffixes, e.g. the lemma of
|
|
"developing" is "develop", the lemma of "geese" is "goose", etc. Note that
|
|
*derivational* suffixes are not stripped, e.g. the lemma of "instutitions"
|
|
is "institution", not "institute". Lemmatization is performed using the
|
|
WordNet data, but extended to also cover closed-class words such as
|
|
pronouns. By default, the WN lemmatizer returns "hi" as the lemma of "his".
|
|
We assign pronouns the lemma -PRON-.
|
|
|
|
:code:`lower` / :code:`lower_`
|
|
The form of the word, but forced to lower-case, i.e. lower = word.orth\_.lower()
|
|
|
|
:code:`norm` / :code:`norm_`
|
|
The form of the word, after language-specific normalizations have been
|
|
applied.
|
|
|
|
:code:`shape` / :code:`shape_`
|
|
A transform of the word's string, to show orthographic features. The
|
|
characters a-z are mapped to x, A-Z is mapped to X, 0-9 is mapped to d.
|
|
After these mappings, sequences of 4 or more of the same character are
|
|
truncated to length 4. Examples: C3Po --> XdXx, favorite --> xxxx,
|
|
:) --> :)
|
|
|
|
:code:`prefix` / :code:`prefix_`
|
|
A length-N substring from the start of the word. Length may vary by
|
|
language; currently for English n=1, i.e. prefix = word.orth\_[:1]
|
|
|
|
:code:`suffix` / :code:`suffix_`
|
|
A length-N substring from the end of the word. Length may vary by
|
|
language; currently for English n=3, i.e. suffix = word.orth\_[-3:]
|
|
|
|
**Distributional Features**
|
|
|
|
:code:`prob`
|
|
The unigram log-probability of the word, estimated from counts from a
|
|
large corpus, smoothed using Simple Good Turing estimation.
|
|
|
|
:code:`cluster`
|
|
The Brown cluster ID of the word. These are often useful features for
|
|
linear models. If you're using a non-linear model, particularly
|
|
a neural net or random forest, consider using the real-valued word
|
|
representation vector, in Token.repvec, instead.
|
|
|
|
:code:`repvec`
|
|
A "word embedding" representation: a dense real-valued vector that supports
|
|
similarity queries between words. By default, spaCy currently loads
|
|
vectors produced by the Levy and Goldberg (2014) dependency-based word2vec
|
|
model.
|
|
|
|
**Syntactic Features**
|
|
|
|
:code:`tag`
|
|
A morphosyntactic tag, e.g. NN, VBZ, DT, etc. These tags are
|
|
language/corpus specific, and typically describe part-of-speech and some
|
|
amount of morphological information. For instance, in the Penn Treebank
|
|
tag set, VBZ is assigned to a present-tense singular verb.
|
|
|
|
:code:`pos`
|
|
A part-of-speech tag, from the Google Universal Tag Set, e.g. NOUN, VERB,
|
|
ADV. Constants for the 17 tag values are provided in spacy.parts\_of\_speech.
|
|
|
|
:code:`dep`
|
|
The type of syntactic dependency relation between the word and its
|
|
syntactic head.
|
|
|
|
:code:`n_lefts`
|
|
The number of immediate syntactic children preceding the word in the
|
|
string.
|
|
|
|
:code:`n_rights`
|
|
The number of immediate syntactic children following the word in the
|
|
string.
|
|
|
|
**Navigating the Dependency Tree**
|
|
|
|
:code:`head`
|
|
The Token that is the immediate syntactic head of the word. If the word is
|
|
the root of the dependency tree, the same word is returned.
|
|
|
|
:code:`lefts`
|
|
An iterator for the immediate leftward syntactic children of the word.
|
|
|
|
:code:`rights`
|
|
An iterator for the immediate rightward syntactic children of the word.
|
|
|
|
:code:`children`
|
|
An iterator that yields from lefts, and then yields from rights.
|
|
|
|
:code:`subtree`
|
|
An iterator for the part of the sentence syntactically governed by the
|
|
word, including the word itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Named Entities**
|
|
|
|
:code:`ent_type`
|
|
If the token is part of an entity, its entity type
|
|
|
|
:code:`ent_iob`
|
|
The IOB (inside, outside, begin) entity recognition tag for the token
|
