DependencyParser class spacy/pipeline/dep_parser.pyx Pipeline component for syntactic dependency parsing /api/pipe parser true

Config and implementation

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 or in your config.cfg for training. See the model architectures documentation for details on the architectures and their arguments and hyperparameters.

Example

from spacy.pipeline.dep_parser import DEFAULT_PARSER_MODEL
config = {
   "moves": None,
  # TODO: rest
   "model": DEFAULT_PARSER_MODEL,
}
nlp.add_pipe("parser", config=config)
Setting Type Description Default
moves list None
model Model The model to use. TransitionBasedParser
https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/blob/develop/spacy/pipeline/dep_parser.pyx

DependencyParser.__init__

Example

# Construction via add_pipe with default model
parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")

# Construction via add_pipe with custom model
config = {"model": {"@architectures": "my_parser"}}
parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser", config=config)

# Construction from class
from spacy.pipeline import DependencyParser
parser = DependencyParser(nlp.vocab, model)

Create a new pipeline instance. In your application, you would normally use a shortcut for this and instantiate the component using its string name and nlp.add_pipe.

Name Type Description
vocab Vocab The shared vocabulary.
model Model The Model powering the pipeline component.
name str String name of the component instance. Used to add entries to the losses during training.
moves list
keyword-only
update_with_oracle_cut_size int
multitasks Iterable
learn_tokens bool
min_action_freq int

DependencyParser.__call__

Apply the pipe to one document. The document is modified in place, and returned. This usually happens under the hood when the nlp object is called on a text and all pipeline components are applied to the Doc in order. Both __call__ and pipe delegate to the predict and set_annotations methods.

Example

doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
# This usually happens under the hood
processed = parser(doc)
Name Type Description
doc Doc The document to process.
RETURNS Doc The processed document.

DependencyParser.pipe

Apply the pipe to a stream of documents. This usually happens under the hood when the nlp object is called on a text and all pipeline components are applied to the Doc in order. Both __call__ and pipe delegate to the predict and set_annotations methods.

Example

parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
for doc in parser.pipe(docs, batch_size=50):
    pass
Name Type Description
stream Iterable[Doc] A stream of documents.
keyword-only
batch_size int The number of texts to buffer. Defaults to 128.
YIELDS Doc Processed documents in the order of the original text.

DependencyParser.begin_training

Initialize the pipe for training, using data examples if available. Returns an Optimizer object.

Example

parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
optimizer = parser.begin_training(pipeline=nlp.pipeline)
Name Type Description
get_examples Callable[[], Iterable[Example]] Optional function that returns gold-standard annotations in the form of Example objects.
keyword-only
pipeline List[Tuple[str, Callable]] Optional list of pipeline components that this component is part of.
sgd Optimizer An optional optimizer. Will be created via create_optimizer if not set.
RETURNS Optimizer The optimizer.

DependencyParser.predict

Apply the pipeline's model to a batch of docs, without modifying them.

Example

parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
scores = parser.predict([doc1, doc2])
Name Type Description
docs Iterable[Doc] The documents to predict.
RETURNS syntax.StateClass A helper class for the parse state (internal).

DependencyParser.set_annotations

Modify a batch of documents, using pre-computed scores.

Example

parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
scores = parser.predict([doc1, doc2])
parser.set_annotations([doc1, doc2], scores)
Name Type Description
docs Iterable[Doc] The documents to modify.
scores syntax.StateClass The scores to set, produced by DependencyParser.predict.

DependencyParser.update

Learn from a batch of Example objects, updating the pipe's model. Delegates to predict and get_loss.

Example

parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
optimizer = nlp.begin_training()
losses = parser.update(examples, sgd=optimizer)
Name Type Description
examples Iterable[Example] A batch of Example objects to learn from.
keyword-only
drop float The dropout rate.
set_annotations bool Whether or not to update the Example objects with the predictions, delegating to set_annotations.
sgd Optimizer The Optimizer object.
losses Dict[str, float] Optional record of the loss during training. Updated using the component name as the key.
RETURNS Dict[str, float] The updated losses dictionary.

DependencyParser.get_loss

Find the loss and gradient of loss for the batch of documents and their predicted scores.

Example

parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
scores = parser.predict([eg.predicted for eg in examples])
loss, d_loss = parser.get_loss(examples, scores)
Name Type Description
examples Iterable[Example] The batch of examples.
scores syntax.StateClass Scores representing the model's predictions.
RETURNS Tuple[float, float] The loss and the gradient, i.e. (loss, gradient).

DependencyParser.score

Score a batch of examples.

Example

scores = parser.score(examples)
Name Type Description
examples Iterable[Example] The examples to score.
RETURNS Dict[str, Any] The scores, produced by Scorer.score_spans and Scorer.score_deps.

DependencyParser.create_optimizer

Create an Optimizer for the pipeline component.

Example

parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
optimizer = parser.create_optimizer()
Name Type Description
RETURNS Optimizer The optimizer.

DependencyParser.use_params

Modify the pipe's model, to use the given parameter values. At the end of the context, the original parameters are restored.

Example

parser = DependencyParser(nlp.vocab)
with parser.use_params(optimizer.averages):
    parser.to_disk("/best_model")
Name Type Description
params dict The parameter values to use in the model.

DependencyParser.add_label

Add a new label to the pipe.

Example

parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
parser.add_label("MY_LABEL")

RETURNS int 0 if the label is already present, otherwise 1.

DependencyParser.to_disk

Serialize the pipe to disk.

Example

parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
parser.to_disk("/path/to/parser")
Name Type Description
path str / Path A path to a directory, which will be created if it doesn't exist. Paths may be either strings or Path-like objects.
keyword-only

DependencyParser.from_disk

Load the pipe from disk. Modifies the object in place and returns it.

parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
parser_bytes = parser.to_bytes()

Serialize the pipe to a bytestring.

Name Type Description
keyword-only
exclude Iterable[str] String names of serialization fields to exclude.
RETURNS bytes The serialized form of the DependencyParser object.

DependencyParser.from_bytes

Load the pipe from a bytestring. Modifies the object in place and returns it.

parser_bytes = parser.to_bytes()
parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")

The labels currently added to the component.

parser.add_label("MY_LABEL")
assert "MY_LABEL" in parser.labels
Name Type Description
RETURNS tuple The labels added to the component.

Serialization fields

During serialization, spaCy will export several data fields used to restore different aspects of the object. If needed, you can exclude them from serialization by passing in the string names via the exclude argument.

Example

data = parser.to_disk("/path", exclude=["vocab"])
Name Description
vocab The shared Vocab.
cfg The config file. You usually don't want to exclude this.
model The binary model data. You usually don't want to exclude this.
