|

|
||
p
|
||
| spaCy features an extremely fast statistical entity recognition system,
|
||
| that assigns labels to contiguous spans of tokens. The default model
|
||
| identifies a variety of named and numeric entities, including companies,
|
||
| locations, organizations and products. You can add arbitrary classes to
|
||
| the entity recognition system, and update the model with new examples.

+h(3, "accessing") Accessing entity annotations
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| The standard way to access entity annotations is the
|
||
| #[+api("doc#ents") #[code doc.ents]] property, which produces a sequence
|
||
| of #[+api("span") #[code Span]] objects. The entity type is accessible
|
||
| either as a hash value or as a string, using the attributes
|
||
| #[code ent.label] and #[code ent.label_]. The #[code Span] object acts
|
||
| as a sequence of tokens, so you can iterate over the entity or index into
|
||
| it. You can also get the text form of the whole entity, as though it were
|
||
| a single token.
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| You can also access token entity annotations using the
|
||
| #[+api("token#attributes") #[code token.ent_iob]] and
|
||
| #[+api("token#attributes") #[code token.ent_type]] attributes.
|
||
| #[code token.ent_iob] indicates whether an entity starts, continues or
|
||
| ends on the tag. If no entity type is set on a token, it will return an
|
||
| empty string.

+h(3, "setting-entities") Setting entity annotations
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| To ensure that the sequence of token annotations remains consistent, you
|
||
| have to set entity annotations #[strong at the document level]. However,
|
||
| you can't write directly to the #[code token.ent_iob] or
|
||
| #[code token.ent_type] attributes, so the easiest way to set entities is
|
||
| to assign to the #[+api("doc#ents") #[code doc.ents]] attribute
|
||
| and create the new entity as a #[+api("span") #[code Span]].
|
||
|
||
+code("Example").
|
||
from spacy.tokens import Span
|
||
|
||
doc = nlp(u'Netflix is hiring a new VP of global policy')
|
||
# the model didn't recognise any entities :(
|
||
|
||
ORG = doc.vocab.strings[u'ORG'] # get hash value of entity label
|
||
netflix_ent = Span(doc, 0, 1, label=ORG) # create a Span for the new entity
|
||
doc.ents = [netflix_ent]
|
||
|
||
ents = [(e.text, e.start_char, e.end_char, e.label_) for e in doc.ents]
|
||
assert ents == [(u'Netflix', 0, 7, u'ORG')]
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| Keep in mind that you need to create a #[code Span] with the start and
|
||
| end index of the #[strong token], not the start and end index of the
|
||
| entity in the document. In this case, "Netflix" is token #[code (0, 1)] –
|
||
| but at the document level, the entity will have the start and end
|
||
| indices #[code (0, 7)].
|
||
|
||
+h(4, "setting-from-array") Setting entity annotations from array
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| You can also assign entity annotations using the
|
||
| #[+api("doc#from_array") #[code doc.from_array()]] method. To do this,
|
||
| you should include both the #[code ENT_TYPE] and the #[code ENT_IOB]
|
||
| attributes in the array you're importing from.
|

|
||
+code.

p
|
||
| Finally, you can always write to the underlying struct, if you compile
|

| a #[+a("http://cython.org/") Cython] function. This is easy to do, and

+h(3, "updating") Training and updating

|

| To provide training examples to the entity recogniser, you'll first need
|
||
| to create an instance of the #[+api("goldparse") #[code GoldParse]] class.
|
||
| You can specify your annotations in a stand-off format or as token tags.
|
||
| If a character offset in your entity annotations don't fall on a token
|
||
| boundary, the #[code GoldParse] class will treat that annotation as a
|
||
| missing value. This allows for more realistic training, because the
|
||
| entity recogniser is allowed to learn from examples that may feature
|
||
| tokenizer errors.
|
||

+code.

+h(4, "updating-biluo") The BILUO Scheme

|

| lets you explore an entity recognition model's behaviour interactively.
|
||
| If you're training a model, it's very useful to run the visualization
|
||
| yourself. To help you do that, spaCy v2.0+ comes with a visualization
|
||
| module. Simply pass a #[code Doc] or a list of #[code Doc] objects to
|
||
| displaCy and run #[+api("top-level#displacy.serve") #[code displacy.serve]] to
|
||
| run the web server, or #[+api("top-level#displacy.render") #[code displacy.render]]
|
