title: InMemoryLookupKB
|
|
teaser:
|
|
The default implementation of the KnowledgeBase interface. Stores all
|
|
information in-memory.
|
|
tag: class
|
|
source: spacy/kb/kb_in_memory.pyx
|
|
version: 3.5
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The `InMemoryLookupKB` class inherits from [`KnowledgeBase`](/api/kb) and
|
|
implements all of its methods. It stores all KB data in-memory and generates
|
|
[`Candidate`](/api/kb#candidate) objects by exactly matching mentions with
|
|
entity names. It's highly optimized for both a low memory footprint and speed of
|
|
retrieval.
|
|
|
|
## InMemoryLookupKB.\_\_init\_\_ {id="init",tag="method"}
|
|
|

|
|
> vocab = nlp.vocab
|
|
> kb = InMemoryLookupKB(vocab=vocab, entity_vector_length=64)
|

## InMemoryLookupKB.get_candidates {id="get_candidates",tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Given a certain textual mention as input, retrieve a list of candidate entities
|
|
of type [`Candidate`](/api/kb#candidate). Wraps
|
|
[`get_alias_candidates()`](/api/inmemorylookupkb#get_alias_candidates).
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> from spacy.lang.en import English
|
|
> nlp = English()
|
|
> doc = nlp("Douglas Adams wrote 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.")
|
|
> candidates = kb.get_candidates(doc[0:2])
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Description |
|
|
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `mention` | The textual mention or alias. ~~Span~~ |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | An iterable of relevant `Candidate` objects. ~~Iterable[Candidate]~~ |
|
|
|
|
## InMemoryLookupKB.get_candidates_batch {id="get_candidates_batch",tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Same as [`get_candidates()`](/api/inmemorylookupkb#get_candidates), but for an
|
|
arbitrary number of mentions. The [`EntityLinker`](/api/entitylinker) component
|
|
will call `get_candidates_batch()` instead of `get_candidates()`, if the config
|
|
parameter `candidates_batch_size` is greater or equal than 1.
|
|
|
|
The default implementation of `get_candidates_batch()` executes
|
|
`get_candidates()` in a loop. We recommend implementing a more efficient way to
|
|
retrieve candidates for multiple mentions at once, if performance is of concern
|
|
to you.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> from spacy.lang.en import English
|
|
> nlp = English()
|
|
> doc = nlp("Douglas Adams wrote 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.")
|
|
> candidates = kb.get_candidates((doc[0:2], doc[3:]))
|
|
> ```

| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `mentions` | The textual mention or alias. ~~Iterable[Span]~~ |

|
|
|
Same as [`get_vector()`](/api/inmemorylookupkb#get_vector), but for an arbitrary
|
|
number of entity IDs.
|
|
|
|
The default implementation of `get_vectors()` executes `get_vector()` in a loop.
|
|
We recommend implementing a more efficient way to retrieve vectors for multiple
|
|
entities at once, if performance is of concern to you.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|

|
|
|
|
Save the current state of the knowledge base to a directory.
