🏷 Add Mypy check to CI and ignore all existing Mypy errors (#9167)
* 🚨 Ignore all existing Mypy errors

* 🏗 Add Mypy check to CI

* Add types-mock and types-requests as dev requirements

* Add additional type ignore directives

* Add types packages to dev-only list in reqs test

* Add types-dataclasses for python 3.6

* Add ignore to pretrain

* 🏷 Improve type annotation on `run_command` helper

The `run_command` helper previously declared that it returned an
`Optional[subprocess.CompletedProcess]`, but it isn't actually possible
for the function to return `None`. These changes modify the type
annotation of the `run_command` helper and remove all now-unnecessary
`# type: ignore` directives.

* 🔧 Allow variable type redefinition in limited contexts

These changes modify how Mypy is configured to allow variables to have
their type automatically redefined under certain conditions. The Mypy
documentation contains the following example:

```python
def process(items: List[str]) -> None:
    # 'items' has type List[str]
    items = [item.split() for item in items]
    # 'items' now has type List[List[str]]
    ...
```

This configuration change is especially helpful in reducing the number
of `# type: ignore` directives needed to handle the common pattern of:
* Accepting a filepath as a string
* Overwriting the variable using `filepath = ensure_path(filepath)`

These changes enable redefinition and remove all `# type: ignore`
directives rendered redundant by this change.

* 🏷 Add type annotation to converters mapping

* 🚨 Fix Mypy error in convert CLI argument verification

* 🏷 Improve type annotation on `resolve_dot_names` helper

* 🏷 Add type annotations for `Vocab` attributes `strings` and `vectors`

* 🏷 Add type annotations for more `Vocab` attributes

* 🏷 Add loose type annotation for gold data compilation

* 🏷 Improve `_format_labels` type annotation

* 🏷 Fix `get_lang_class` type annotation

* 🏷 Loosen return type of `Language.evaluate`

* 🏷 Don't accept `Scorer` in `handle_scores_per_type`

* 🏷 Add `string_to_list` overloads

* 🏷 Fix non-Optional command-line options

* 🙈 Ignore redefinition of `wandb_logger` in `loggers.py`

*  Install `typing_extensions` in Python 3.8+

The `typing_extensions` package states that it should be used when
"writing code that must be compatible with multiple Python versions".
Since SpaCy needs to support multiple Python versions, it should be used
when newer `typing` module members are required. One example of this is
`Literal`, which is available starting with Python 3.8.

Previously SpaCy tried to import `Literal` from `typing`, falling back
to `typing_extensions` if the import failed. However, Mypy doesn't seem
to be able to understand what `Literal` means when the initial import
means. Therefore, these changes modify how `compat` imports `Literal` by
always importing it from `typing_extensions`.

These changes also modify how `typing_extensions` is installed, so that
it is a requirement for all Python versions, including those greater
than or equal to 3.8.

* 🏷 Improve type annotation for `Language.pipe`

These changes add a missing overload variant to the type signature of
`Language.pipe`. Additionally, the type signature is enhanced to allow
type checkers to differentiate between the two overload variants based
on the `as_tuple` parameter.

Fixes #8772

*  Don't install `typing-extensions` in Python 3.8+

After more detailed analysis of how to implement Python version-specific
type annotations using SpaCy, it has been determined that by branching
on a comparison against `sys.version_info` can be statically analyzed by
Mypy well enough to enable us to conditionally use
`typing_extensions.Literal`. This means that we no longer need to
install `typing_extensions` for Python versions greater than or equal to
3.8! 🎉

These changes revert previous changes installing `typing-extensions`
regardless of Python version and modify how we import the `Literal` type
to ensure that Mypy treats it properly.

* resolve mypy errors for Strict pydantic types

* refactor code to avoid missing return statement

* fix types of convert CLI command

* avoid list-set confustion in debug_data

* fix typo and formatting

* small fixes to avoid type ignores

* fix types in profile CLI command and make it more efficient

* type fixes in projects CLI

* put one ignore back

* type fixes for render

* fix render types - the sequel

* fix BaseDefault in language definitions

* fix type of noun_chunks iterator - yields tuple instead of span

* fix types in language-specific modules

* 🏷 Expand accepted inputs of `get_string_id`

`get_string_id` accepts either a string (in which case it returns its 
ID) or an ID (in which case it immediately returns the ID). These 
changes extend the type annotation of `get_string_id` to indicate that 
it can accept either strings or IDs.

* 🏷 Handle override types in `combine_score_weights`

The `combine_score_weights` function allows users to pass an `overrides` 
mapping to override data extracted from the `weights` argument. Since it 
allows `Optional` dictionary values, the return value may also include 
`Optional` dictionary values.

These changes update the type annotations for `combine_score_weights` to 
reflect this fact.

* 🏷 Fix tokenizer serialization method signatures in `DummyTokenizer`

* 🏷 Fix redefinition of `wandb_logger`

These changes fix the redefinition of `wandb_logger` by giving a 
separate name to each `WandbLogger` version. For 
backwards-compatibility, `spacy.train` still exports `wandb_logger_v3` 
as `wandb_logger` for now.

title: SpanCategorizer
tag: class,experimental
source: spacy/pipeline/spancat.py
new: 3.1
teaser: 'Pipeline component for labeling potentially overlapping spans of text'
api_base_class: /api/pipe
api_string_name: spancat
api_trainable: true
---
A span categorizer consists of two parts: a [suggester function](#suggesters)
that proposes candidate spans, which may or may not overlap, and a labeler model
that predicts zero or more labels for each candidate.
Predicted spans will be saved in a [`SpanGroup`](/api/spangroup) on the doc.
Individual span scores can be found in `spangroup.attrs["scores"]`.
## Assigned Attributes {#assigned-attributes}
Predictions will be saved to `Doc.spans[spans_key]` as a
[`SpanGroup`](/api/spangroup). The scores for the spans in the `SpanGroup` will
be saved in `SpanGroup.attrs["scores"]`.
`spans_key` defaults to `"sc"`, but can be passed as a parameter.
| Location | Value |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Doc.spans[spans_key]` | The annotated spans. ~~SpanGroup~~ |
| `Doc.spans[spans_key].attrs["scores"]` | The score for each span in the `SpanGroup`. ~~Floats1d~~ |
## 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). See the
[model architectures](/api/architectures) documentation for details on the
architectures and their arguments and hyperparameters.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> from spacy.pipeline.spancat import DEFAULT_SPANCAT_MODEL
> config = {
> "threshold": 0.5,
> "spans_key": "labeled_spans",
> "max_positive": None,
> "model": DEFAULT_SPANCAT_MODEL,
> "suggester": {"@misc": "spacy.ngram_suggester.v1", "sizes": [1, 2, 3]},
> }
> nlp.add_pipe("spancat", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `suggester` | A function that [suggests spans](#suggesters). Spans are returned as a ragged array with two integer columns, for the start and end positions. Defaults to [`ngram_suggester`](#ngram_suggester). ~~Callable[[Iterable[Doc], Optional[Ops]], Ragged]~~ |
| `model` | A model instance that is given a a list of documents and `(start, end)` indices representing candidate span offsets. The model predicts a probability for each category for each span. Defaults to [SpanCategorizer](/api/architectures#SpanCategorizer). ~~Model[Tuple[List[Doc], Ragged], Floats2d]~~ |
| `spans_key` | Key of the [`Doc.spans`](/api/doc#spans) dict to save the spans under. During initialization and training, the component will look for spans on the reference document under the same key. Defaults to `"spans"`. ~~str~~ |
| `threshold` | Minimum probability to consider a prediction positive. Spans with a positive prediction will be saved on the Doc. Defaults to `0.5`. ~~float~~ |
| `max_positive` | Maximum number of labels to consider positive per span. Defaults to `None`, indicating no limit. ~~Optional[int]~~ |

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`](/api/language#create_pipe).
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `vocab` | The shared vocabulary. ~~Vocab~~ |
| `model` | A model instance that is given a a list of documents and `(start, end)` indices representing candidate span offsets. The model predicts a probability for each category for each span. ~~Model[Tuple[List[Doc], Ragged], Floats2d]~~ |
| `suggester` | A function that [suggests spans](#suggesters). Spans are returned as a ragged array with two integer columns, for the start and end positions. ~~Callable[[Iterable[Doc], Optional[Ops]], Ragged]~~ |

| `max_positive` | Maximum number of labels to consider positive per span. Defaults to `None`, indicating no limit. ~~Optional[int]~~ |
## SpanCategorizer.\_\_call\_\_ {#call tag="method"}
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__`](/api/spancategorizer#call) and [`pipe`](/api/spancategorizer#pipe)
delegate to the [`predict`](/api/spancategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/spancategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
> spancat = nlp.add_pipe("spancat")
> # This usually happens under the hood
> processed = spancat(doc)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
## SpanCategorizer.pipe {#pipe tag="method"}
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__`](/api/spancategorizer#call) and
[`pipe`](/api/spancategorizer#pipe) delegate to the
[`predict`](/api/spancategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/spancategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> spancat = nlp.add_pipe("spancat")
> for doc in spancat.pipe(docs, batch_size=50):
> pass
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |

## SpanCategorizer.initialize {#initialize tag="method"}
Initialize the component for training. `get_examples` should be a function that
returns an iterable of [`Example`](/api/example) objects. The data examples are
used to **initialize the model** of the component and can either be the full
training data or a representative sample. Initialization includes validating the
network,
[inferring missing shapes](https://thinc.ai/docs/usage-models#validation) and
setting up the label scheme based on the data. This method is typically called
by [`Language.initialize`](/api/language#initialize) and lets you customize
arguments it receives via the
[`[initialize.components]`](/api/data-formats#config-initialize) block in the
config.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> spancat = nlp.add_pipe("spancat")
> spancat.initialize(lambda: [], nlp=nlp)
> ```
>
> ```ini
> ### config.cfg
> [initialize.components.spancat]
>
> [initialize.components.spancat.labels]
> @readers = "spacy.read_labels.v1"

| `labels` | The label information to add to the component, as provided by the [`label_data`](#label_data) property after initialization. To generate a reusable JSON file from your data, you should run the [`init labels`](/api/cli#init-labels) command. If no labels are provided, the `get_examples` callback is used to extract the labels from the data, which may be a lot slower. ~~Optional[Iterable[str]]~~ |
## SpanCategorizer.predict {#predict tag="method"}
Apply the component's model to a batch of [`Doc`](/api/doc) objects without
modifying them.

| Name | Description |
| -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `params` | The parameter values to use in the model. ~~dict~~ |
## SpanCategorizer.add_label {#add_label tag="method"}
Add a new label to the pipe. Raises an error if the output dimension is already
set, or if the model has already been fully [initialized](#initialize). Note
that you don't have to call this method if you provide a **representative data
sample** to the [`initialize`](#initialize) method. In this case, all labels
found in the sample will be automatically added to the model, and the output
dimension will be [inferred](/usage/layers-architectures#thinc-shape-inference)
automatically.
> #### Example
