This section documents input and output formats of data used by spaCy, including
|
|
the [training config](/usage/training#config), training data and lexical
|
|
vocabulary data. For an overview of label schemes used by the models, see the
|
|
[models directory](/models). Each trained pipeline documents the label schemes
|
|
used in its components, depending on the data it was trained on.
|
|
|
|
## Training config {#config new="3"}
|
|
|
|
Config files define the training process and pipeline and can be passed to
|
|
[`spacy train`](/api/cli#train). They use
|
|
[Thinc's configuration system](https://thinc.ai/docs/usage-config) under the
|
|
hood. For details on how to use training configs, see the
|
|
[usage documentation](/usage/training#config). To get started with the
|
|
recommended settings for your use case, check out the
|
|
[quickstart widget](/usage/training#quickstart) or run the
|
|
[`init config`](/api/cli#init-config) command.
|
|
|
|
> #### What does the @ mean?
|
|
>
|
|
> The `@` syntax lets you refer to function names registered in the
|
|
> [function registry](/api/top-level#registry). For example,
|
|
> `@architectures = "spacy.HashEmbedCNN.v1"` refers to a registered function of
|
|
> the name [spacy.HashEmbedCNN.v1](/api/architectures#HashEmbedCNN) and all
|
|
> other values defined in its block will be passed into that function as
|
|
> arguments. Those arguments depend on the registered function. See the usage
|
|
> guide on [registered functions](/usage/training#config-functions) for details.

<Infobox title="Notes on data validation" emoji="💡">
|
|
|
|
Under the hood, spaCy's configs are powered by our machine learning library
|
|
[Thinc's config system](https://thinc.ai/docs/usage-config), which uses
|
|
[`pydantic`](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/) for data validation
|
|
based on type hints. See [`spacy/schemas.py`](%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/schemas.py)
|
|
for the schemas used to validate the default config. Arguments of registered
|
|
functions are validated against their type annotations, if available. To debug
|
|
your config and check that it's valid, you can run the
|
|
[`spacy debug config`](/api/cli#debug-config) command.

|
|
|
|
Defines the `nlp` object, its tokenizer and
|
|
[processing pipeline](/usage/processing-pipelines) component names.
|
|
|
|
| Name | Description |
|
|
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `lang` | Pipeline language [ISO code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes). Defaults to `null`. ~~str~~ |
|
|
| `pipeline` | Names of pipeline components in order. Should correspond to sections in the `[components]` block, e.g. `[components.ner]`. See docs on [defining components](/usage/training#config-components). Defaults to `[]`. ~~List[str]~~ |
|
|
| `disabled` | Names of pipeline components that are loaded but disabled by default and not run as part of the pipeline. Should correspond to components listed in `pipeline`. After a pipeline is loaded, disabled components can be enabled using [`Language.enable_pipe`](/api/language#enable_pipe). ~~List[str]~~ |
|
|
| `before_creation` | Optional [callback](/usage/training#custom-code-nlp-callbacks) to modify `Language` subclass before it's initialized. Defaults to `null`. ~~Optional[Callable[[Type[Language]], Type[Language]]]~~ |
|
|
| `after_creation` | Optional [callback](/usage/training#custom-code-nlp-callbacks) to modify `nlp` object right after it's initialized. Defaults to `null`. ~~Optional[Callable[[Language], Language]]~~ |
|
|
| `after_pipeline_creation` | Optional [callback](/usage/training#custom-code-nlp-callbacks) to modify `nlp` object after the pipeline components have been added. Defaults to `null`. ~~Optional[Callable[[Language], Language]]~~ |

|
|
|
|
This section includes definitions of the
|
|
[pipeline components](/usage/processing-pipelines) and their models, if
|
|
available. Components in this section can be referenced in the `pipeline` of the
|
|
`[nlp]` block. Component blocks need to specify either a `factory` (named
|
|
function to use to create component) or a `source` (name of path of trained
|
|
pipeline to copy components from). See the docs on
|
|
[defining pipeline components](/usage/training#config-components) for details.
|
|
|
|
### paths, system {#config-variables tag="variables"}
|
|
|
|
These sections define variables that can be referenced across the other sections
|
|
as variables. For example `${paths.train}` uses the value of `train` defined in
|
|
the block `[paths]`. If your config includes custom registered functions that
|
|
need paths, you can define them here. All config values can also be
|
|
[overwritten](/usage/training#config-overrides) on the CLI when you run
|
|
[`spacy train`](/api/cli#train), which is especially relevant for data paths
|
|
that you don't want to hard-code in your config file.
|
|
|
|
```cli
|
|
$ python -m spacy train config.cfg --paths.train ./corpus/train.spacy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### corpora {#config-corpora tag="section"}
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```ini
|
|
> [corpora]
|
|
>
|
|
> [corpora.train]
|
|
> @readers = "spacy.Corpus.v1"
|
|
> path = ${paths:train}
|
|
>
|
|
> [corpora.dev]
|
|
> @readers = "spacy.Corpus.v1"
|
|
> path = ${paths:dev}
|
|
>
|
|
> [corpora.pretrain]
|
|
> @readers = "spacy.JsonlCorpus.v1"
|
|
> path = ${paths.raw}
|
|
>
|
|
> [corpora.my_custom_data]
|
|
> @readers = "my_custom_reader.v1"
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
This section defines a **dictionary** mapping of string keys to functions. Each
|
|
function takes an `nlp` object and yields [`Example`](/api/example) objects. By
|
|
default, the two keys `train` and `dev` are specified and each refer to a
|
|
[`Corpus`](/api/top-level#Corpus). When pretraining, an additional `pretrain`
|
|
section is added that defaults to a [`JsonlCorpus`](/api/top-level#jsonlcorpus).
|
|
You can also register custom functions that return a callable.
|
|
|
|
| Name | Description |
|
|
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `train` | Training data corpus, typically used in `[training]` block. ~~Callable[[Language], Iterator[Example]]~~ |
|
|
| `dev` | Development data corpus, typically used in `[training]` block. ~~Callable[[Language], Iterator[Example]]~~ |
|
|
| `pretrain` | Raw text for [pretraining](/usage/embeddings-transformers#pretraining), typically used in `[pretraining]` block (if available). ~~Callable[[Language], Iterator[Example]]~~ |
|
|
| ... | Any custom or alternative corpora. ~~Callable[[Language], Iterator[Example]]~~ |
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the `[corpora]` block can refer to **one function** that returns
|
|
a dictionary keyed by the corpus names. This can be useful if you want to load a
|
|
single corpus once and then divide it up into `train` and `dev` partitions.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```ini
|
|
> [corpora]
|
|
> @readers = "my_custom_reader.v1"
|
|
> train_path = ${paths:train}
|
|
> dev_path = ${paths:dev}
|
|
> shuffle = true
|
|

|
|
|
|
This config block lets you define resources for **initializing the pipeline**.
|
|
It's used by [`Language.initialize`](/api/language#initialize) and typically
|
|
called right before training (but not at runtime). The section allows you to

specify local file paths or custom functions to load data resources from,
|
|
without requiring them at runtime when you load the trained pipeline back in.
|
|
Also see the usage guides on the
|
|
[config lifecycle](/usage/training#config-lifecycle) and
|
|
[custom initialization](/usage/training#initialization).
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```ini
|
|
> [initialize]
|
|
> vectors = "/path/to/vectors_nlp"
|
|
> init_tok2vec = "/path/to/pretrain.bin"
|
|

## Training data {#training}
|
|
|
|
### Binary training format {#binary-training new="3"}
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> from spacy.tokens import DocBin
|
|
> from spacy.training import Corpus
|
|
>
|
|
> doc_bin = DocBin(docs=docs)
|
|
> doc_bin.to_disk("./data.spacy")
|
|
> reader = Corpus("./data.spacy")
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
The main data format used in spaCy v3.0 is a **binary format** created by
|
|
serializing a [`DocBin`](/api/docbin), which represents a collection of `Doc`
|
|
objects. This means that you can train spaCy pipelines using the same format it
|
|
outputs: annotated `Doc` objects. The binary format is extremely **efficient in
|
|
storage**, especially when packing multiple documents together.
|
|
|
|
Typically, the extension for these binary files is `.spacy`, and they are used
|
|
as input format for specifying a [training corpus](/api/corpus) and for spaCy's
|
|
CLI [`train`](/api/cli#train) command. The built-in
|
|
[`convert`](/api/cli#convert) command helps you convert spaCy's previous
|
|
[JSON format](#json-input) to the new binary format. It also supports conversion
|
|
of the `.conllu` format used by the
|
|
[Universal Dependencies corpora](https://github.com/UniversalDependencies).
|
|
|
|
### JSON training format {#json-input tag="deprecated"}
|
|
|
|
<Infobox variant="warning" title="Changed in v3.0">
|
|
|
|
As of v3.0, the JSON input format is deprecated and is replaced by the
|
|
[binary format](#binary-training). Instead of converting [`Doc`](/api/doc)
|
|
objects to JSON, you can now serialize them directly using the
|
|
[`DocBin`](/api/docbin) container and then use them as input data.
|
|
|
|
[`spacy convert`](/api/cli) lets you convert your JSON data to the new `.spacy`
|
|
format:
|
|
|
|
```cli
|
|
$ python -m spacy convert ./data.json ./output.spacy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</Infobox>
|
|
|
|
> #### Annotating entities
|
|
>
|
|
> Named entities are provided in the
|
|
> [BILUO](/usage/linguistic-features#accessing-ner) notation. Tokens outside an
|
|
> entity are set to `"O"` and tokens that are part of an entity are set to the
|
|
> entity label, prefixed by the BILUO marker. For example `"B-ORG"` describes
|
|
> the first token of a multi-token `ORG` entity and `"U-PERSON"` a single token
|
|
> representing a `PERSON` entity. The
|
|
> [`offsets_to_biluo_tags`](/api/top-level#offsets_to_biluo_tags) function can
|
|
> help you convert entity offsets to the right format.

### Annotation format for creating training examples {#dict-input}
|
|
|
|
An [`Example`](/api/example) object holds the information for one training
|
|
instance. It stores two [`Doc`](/api/doc) objects: one for holding the
|
|
gold-standard reference data, and one for holding the predictions of the
|
|
pipeline. Examples can be created using the
|
|
[`Example.from_dict`](/api/example#from_dict) method with a reference `Doc` and
|
|
a dictionary of gold-standard annotations.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> example = Example.from_dict(doc, gold_dict)
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
<Infobox title="Important note" variant="warning">
|
|
|
|
`Example` objects are used as part of the
|
|
[internal training API](/usage/training#api) and they're expected when you call
|
|
[`nlp.update`](/api/language#update). However, for most use cases, you
|
|
**shouldn't** have to write your own training scripts. It's recommended to train
|
|
your pipelines via the [`spacy train`](/api/cli#train) command with a config
|
|
file to keep track of your settings and hyperparameters and your own
|
|
[registered functions](/usage/training/#custom-code) to customize the setup.

<Infobox title="Notes and caveats">
|
|
|
|
- Multiple formats are possible for the "entities" entry, but you have to pick
|
|
one.
|
|
- Any values for sentence starts will be ignored if there are annotations for
|
|
dependency relations.
|
|
- If the dictionary contains values for `"text"` and `"words"`, but not
|
|
`"spaces"`, the latter are inferred automatically. If "words" is not provided
|
|
either, the values are inferred from the `Doc` argument.

## Lexical data for vocabulary {#vocab-jsonl new="2"}
|
|
|
|
This data file can be provided via the `vocab_data` setting in the
|
|
`[initialize]` block of the training config to pre-define the lexical data to
|
|
initialize the `nlp` object's vocabulary with. The file should contain one
|
|
lexical entry per line. The first line defines the language and vocabulary
|
|
settings. All other lines are expected to be JSON objects describing an
|
|
individual lexeme. The lexical attributes will be then set as attributes on
|
|
spaCy's [`Lexeme`](/api/lexeme#attributes) object.
|
|
|

## Pipeline meta {#meta}
|
|
|
|
The pipeline meta is available as the file `meta.json` and exported
|
|
automatically when you save an `nlp` object to disk. Its contents are available
|
|
as [`nlp.meta`](/api/language#meta).
|
|
|
|
<Infobox variant="warning" title="Changed in v3.0">
|
|
|
|
As of spaCy v3.0, the `meta.json` **isn't** used to construct the language class
|
|
and pipeline anymore and only contains meta information for reference and for
|
|
creating a Python package with [`spacy package`](/api/cli#package). How to set
|
|
up the `nlp` object is now defined in the
|
|
[`config.cfg`](/api/data-formats#config), which includes detailed information
|
|
about the pipeline components and their model architectures, and all other
|
|
settings and hyperparameters used to train the pipeline. It's the **single
|
|
source of truth** used for loading a pipeline.
