title: SpanRuler
tag: class
source: spacy/pipeline/span_ruler.py
new: 3.3
teaser: 'Pipeline component for rule-based span and named entity recognition'
api_string_name: span_ruler
api_trainable: false
---
The span ruler lets you add spans to [`Doc.spans`](/api/doc#spans) and/or
[`Doc.ents`](/api/doc#ents) using token-based rules or exact phrase matches. For
usage examples, see the docs on
[rule-based span matching](/usage/rule-based-matching#spanruler).
## Assigned Attributes {#assigned-attributes}
Matches will be saved to `Doc.spans[spans_key]` as a
[`SpanGroup`](/api/spangroup) and/or to `Doc.ents`, where the annotation is
saved in the `Token.ent_type` and `Token.ent_iob` fields.
| Location | Value |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Doc.spans[spans_key]` | The annotated spans. ~~SpanGroup~~ |
| `Doc.ents` | The annotated spans. ~~Tuple[Span]~~ |
| `Token.ent_iob` | An enum encoding of the IOB part of the named entity tag. ~~int~~ |
| `Token.ent_iob_` | The IOB part of the named entity tag. ~~str~~ |
| `Token.ent_type` | The label part of the named entity tag (hash). ~~int~~ |
| `Token.ent_type_` | The label part of the named entity tag. ~~str~~ |
## Config and implementation {#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`](/usage/training#config).
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> config = {
> "spans_key": "my_spans",
> "validate": True,
> "overwrite": False,
> }
> nlp.add_pipe("span_ruler", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Description |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `spans_key` | The spans key to save the spans under. If `None`, no spans are saved. Defaults to `"ruler"`. ~~Optional[str]~~ |
| `spans_filter` | The optional method to filter spans before they are assigned to doc.spans. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[Iterable[Span], Iterable[Span]], List[Span]]]~~ |
| `annotate_ents` | Whether to save spans to doc.ents. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ |
| `ents_filter` | The method to filter spans before they are assigned to doc.ents. Defaults to `util.filter_chain_spans`. ~~Callable[[Iterable[Span], Iterable[Span]], List[Span]]~~ |
| `phrase_matcher_attr` | Token attribute to match on, passed to the internal PhraseMatcher as `attr`. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Union[int, str]]~~ |
| `validate` | Whether patterns should be validated, passed to Matcher and PhraseMatcher as `validate`. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ |
| `overwrite` | Whether to remove any existing spans under `Doc.spans[spans key]` if `spans_key` is set, or to remove any ents under `Doc.ents` if `annotate_ents` is set. Defaults to `True`. ~~bool~~ |
| `scorer` | The scoring method. Defaults to [`Scorer.score_spans`](/api/scorer#score_spans) for `Doc.spans[spans_key]` with overlapping spans allowed. ~~Optional[Callable]~~ |
```python
%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/pipeline/span_ruler.py
```
## SpanRuler.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
Initialize the span ruler. If patterns are supplied here, they need to be a list
of dictionaries with a `"label"` and `"pattern"` key. A pattern can either be a
token pattern (list) or a phrase pattern (string). For example:
`{"label": "ORG", "pattern": "Apple"}`.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> # Construction via add_pipe
> ruler = nlp.add_pipe("span_ruler")
>
> # Construction from class
> from spacy.pipeline import SpanRuler
> ruler = SpanRuler(nlp, overwrite=True)
> ```
| Name | Description |

| `nlp` | The shared nlp object to pass the vocab to the matchers and process phrase patterns. ~~Language~~ |
| `name` | Instance name of the current pipeline component. Typically passed in automatically from the factory when the component is added. Used to disable the current span ruler while creating phrase patterns with the nlp object. ~~str~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `spans_key` | The spans key to save the spans under. If `None`, no spans are saved. Defaults to `"ruler"`. ~~Optional[str]~~ |
| `spans_filter` | The optional method to filter spans before they are assigned to doc.spans. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[Iterable[Span], Iterable[Span]], List[Span]]]~~ |
| `annotate_ents` | Whether to save spans to doc.ents. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ |
| `ents_filter` | The method to filter spans before they are assigned to doc.ents. Defaults to `util.filter_chain_spans`. ~~Callable[[Iterable[Span], Iterable[Span]], List[Span]]~~ |
| `phrase_matcher_attr` | Token attribute to match on, passed to the internal PhraseMatcher as `attr`. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Union[int, str]]~~ |
| `validate` | Whether patterns should be validated, passed to Matcher and PhraseMatcher as `validate`. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ |
| `overwrite` | Whether to remove any existing spans under `Doc.spans[spans key]` if `spans_key` is set, or to remove any ents under `Doc.ents` if `annotate_ents` is set. Defaults to `True`. ~~bool~~ |
| `scorer` | The scoring method. Defaults to [`Scorer.score_spans`](/api/scorer#score_spans) for `Doc.spans[spans_key]` with overlapping spans allowed. ~~Optional[Callable]~~ |
## SpanRuler.initialize {#initialize tag="method"}
Initialize the component with data and used before training to load in rules
from a [pattern file](/usage/rule-based-matching/#spanruler-files). 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. Any existing patterns are removed on initialization.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> span_ruler = nlp.add_pipe("span_ruler")
> span_ruler.initialize(lambda: [], nlp=nlp, patterns=patterns)
> ```
>
> ```ini
> ### config.cfg
> [initialize.components.span_ruler]
>
> [initialize.components.span_ruler.patterns]
> @readers = "srsly.read_jsonl.v1"
> path = "corpus/span_ruler_patterns.jsonl
> ```

span ruler was initialized with `overwrite=True`, existing spans and entities
will be removed.
