                |  spaCy excels at large-scale information extraction tasks.
                |  It's written from the ground up in carefully memory-managed
                |  Cython. Independent research has confirmed that spaCy is
                |  the fastest in the world.  If your application needs to
                |  process entire web dumps, spaCy is the library you want to
                |  be using.

                |  spaCy is designed to help you do real work — to build real
                |  products, or gather real insights. The library respects
                |  your time, and tries to avoid wasting it. It's easy to
                |  install, and its API is simple and productive. I like to
                |  think of spaCy as the Ruby on Rails of Natural Language

                |  rest of Python's awesome AI ecosystem. spaCy helps you
                |  connect the statistical models trained by these libraries
                |  to the rest of your application.

            p
                |  By 2014, I'd been publishing NLP research for about 10
                |  years. During that time, I saw a huge gap open between the
                |  technology that Google-sized companies could take to market,
                |  and what was available to everyone else. This was especially
                |  clear when companies started trying to use my research. Like
                |  most researchers, my work was free to read, but expensive to
                |  apply. You could run my code, but its requirements were
                |  narrow. My code's mission in life was to print results
                |  tables for my papers — it was good at this job, and bad at
                |  all others.

            p
                |  spaCy's #[+a("/docs/api/philosophy") mission] is to make
                |  cutting-edge NLP practical and commonly available.  That's
                |  why I left academia in 2014, to build a production-quality
                |  open-source NLP library. It's why
                |  #[+a("https://twitter.com/_inesmontani") Ines] joined the
                |  project in 2015, to build visualisations, demos and
                |  annotation tools that make NLP technologies less abstract
                |  and easier to use. Together, we've founded
                |  #[+a(COMPANY_URL, true) Explosion AI], to develop data packs
                |  you can drop into spaCy to extend its capabilities. If
                |  you're processing Hindi insurance claims, you need a model
                |  for that. We can build it for you.
