teaser: 'Pipeline component for rule-based token attribute assignment'
api_string_name: attribute_ruler
api_trainable: false
---
The attribute ruler lets you set token attributes for tokens identified by
[`Matcher` patterns](/usage/rule-based-matching#matcher). The attribute ruler is
typically used to handle exceptions for token attributes and to map values
between attributes such as mapping fine-grained POS tags to coarse-grained POS
tags. See the [usage guide](/usage/linguistic-features/#mappings-exceptions) for
examples.
## 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` for training](/usage/training#config).
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> config = {
> "pattern_dicts": None,
> "validate": True,
> }
> nlp.add_pipe("attribute_ruler", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Description |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `pattern_dicts` | A list of pattern dicts with the keys as the arguments to [`AttributeRuler.add`](/api/attributeruler#add) (`patterns`/`attrs`/`index`) to add as patterns. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Iterable[Dict[str, Union[List[dict], dict, int]]]]~~ |
| `validate` | Whether patterns should be validated (passed to the `Matcher`). Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ |
```python
%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/pipeline/attributeruler.py
```
## AttributeRuler.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
Initialize the attribute ruler. If pattern dicts are supplied here, they need to
be a list of dictionaries with `"patterns"`, `"attrs"`, and optional `"index"`
keys, e.g.:
```python
pattern_dicts = [
{"patterns": [[{"TAG": "VB"}]], "attrs": {"POS": "VERB"}},
{"patterns": [[{"LOWER": "an"}]], "attrs": {"LEMMA": "a"}},
]
```
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> # Construction via add_pipe
> attribute_ruler = nlp.add_pipe("attribute_ruler")
> ```
| Name | Description |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `vocab` | The shared vocabulary to pass to the matcher. ~~Vocab~~ |
| `name` | Instance name of the current pipeline component. Typically passed in automatically from the factory when the component is added. ~~str~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `pattern_dicts` | Optional patterns to load in on initialization. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Iterable[Dict[str, Union[List[dict], dict, int]]]]~~ |
| `validate` | Whether patterns should be validated (passed to the [`Matcher`](/api/matcher#init)). Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ |
## AttributeRuler.\_\_call\_\_ {#call tag="method"}
Apply the attribute ruler to a Doc, setting token attributes for tokens matched
by the provided patterns.
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
## AttributeRuler.add {#add tag="method"}
Add patterns to the attribute ruler. The patterns are a list of `Matcher`
patterns and the attributes are a dict of attributes to set on the matched
token. If the pattern matches a span of more than one token, the `index` can be
used to set the attributes for the token at that index in the span. The `index`
may be negative to index from the end of the span.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> attribute_ruler = nlp.add_pipe("attribute_ruler")
> patterns = [[{"TAG": "VB"}]]
> attrs = {"POS": "VERB"}
> attribute_ruler.add(patterns=patterns, attrs=attrs)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `patterns` | The `Matcher` patterns to add. ~~Iterable[List[Dict[Union[int, str], Any]]]~~ |
| `attrs` | The attributes to assign to the target token in the matched span. ~~Dict[str, Any]~~ |
| `index` | The index of the token in the matched span to modify. May be negative to index from the end of the span. Defaults to `0`. ~~int~~ |
## AttributeRuler.add_patterns {#add_patterns tag="method"}
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> attribute_ruler = nlp.add_pipe("attribute_ruler")
> pattern_dicts = [
> {
> "patterns": [[{"TAG": "VB"}]],
> "attrs": {"POS": "VERB"}
> },
> {
> "patterns": [[{"LOWER": "two"}, {"LOWER": "apples"}]],
> "attrs": {"LEMMA": "apple"},
> "index": -1
> },
> ]
