## Text processing {#text-processing}
|
||
|
||
> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||
> from spacy.lang.en import English
|
||
> nlp = English()
|
||
> tokens = nlp("Some\\nspaces and\\ttab characters")
|
||
> tokens_text = [t.text for t in tokens]
|
||
> assert tokens_text == ["Some", "\\n", "spaces", " ", "and", "\\t", "tab", "characters"]
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
Tokenization standards are based on the
|
||
[OntoNotes 5](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2013T19) corpus. The tokenizer
|
||
differs from most by including **tokens for significant whitespace**. Any
|
||
sequence of whitespace characters beyond a single space (`' '`) is included as a
|
||
token. The whitespace tokens are useful for much the same reason punctuation is
|
||
– it's often an important delimiter in the text. By preserving it in the token
|
||
output, we are able to maintain a simple alignment between the tokens and the
|
||
original string, and we ensure that **no information is lost** during
|
||
processing.
|
||
|
||
### Lemmatization {#lemmatization}
|
||
|
||
> #### Examples
|
||
>
|
||
> In English, this means:
|
||
>
|
||
> - **Adjectives**: happier, happiest → happy
|
||
> - **Adverbs**: worse, worst → badly
|
||
> - **Nouns**: dogs, children → dog, child
|
||
> - **Verbs**: writes, writing, wrote, written → write
|
||
|
||
A lemma is the uninflected form of a word. The English lemmatization data is
|
||
taken from [WordNet](https://wordnet.princeton.edu). Lookup tables are taken
|
||
from [Lexiconista](http://www.lexiconista.com/datasets/lemmatization/). spaCy
|
||
also adds a **special case for pronouns**: all pronouns are lemmatized to the
|
||
special token `-PRON-`.
|
||
|
||
<Infobox title="About spaCy's custom pronoun lemma" variant="warning">
|
||
|
||
Unlike verbs and common nouns, there's no clear base form of a personal pronoun.
|
||
Should the lemma of "me" be "I", or should we normalize person as well, giving
|
||
"it" — or maybe "he"? spaCy's solution is to introduce a novel symbol, `-PRON-`,
|
||
which is used as the lemma for all personal pronouns.
|
||
|
||
</Infobox>
|
||
|
||
### Sentence boundary detection {#sentence-boundary}
|
||
|
||
Sentence boundaries are calculated from the syntactic parse tree, so features
|
||
such as punctuation and capitalization play an important but non-decisive role
|
||
in determining the sentence boundaries. Usually this means that the sentence
|
||
boundaries will at least coincide with clause boundaries, even given poorly
|
||
punctuated text.
|
||
|
||
## Part-of-speech tagging {#pos-tagging}
|
||
|
||
> #### Tip: Understanding tags
|
||
>
|
||
> You can also use `spacy.explain` to get the description for the string
|
||
> representation of a tag. For example, `spacy.explain("RB")` will return
|
||
> "adverb".
|
||
|
||
This section lists the fine-grained and coarse-grained part-of-speech tags
|
||
assigned by spaCy's [models](/models). The individual mapping is specific to the
|
||
training corpus and can be defined in the respective language data's
|
||
[`tag_map.py`](/usage/adding-languages#tag-map).
|
||
|
||
<Accordion title="Universal Part-of-speech Tags" id="pos-universal">
|
||
|
||
spaCy maps all language-specific part-of-speech tags to a small, fixed set of
|
||
word type tags following the
|
||
[Universal Dependencies scheme](http://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/). The
|
||
universal tags don't code for any morphological features and only cover the word
|
||
type. They're available as the [`Token.pos`](/api/token#attributes) and
|
||
[`Token.pos_`](/api/token#attributes) attributes.
|
||
|
||
| POS | Description | Examples |
|
||
| ------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `ADJ` | adjective | big, old, green, incomprehensible, first |

## Named Entity Recognition {#named-entities}
|
||
|
||
> #### Tip: Understanding entity types
|
||
>
|
||
> You can also use `spacy.explain` to get the description for the string
|
||
> representation of an entity label. For example, `spacy.explain("LANGUAGE")`
|
||
> will return "any named language".
|
||
|
||
Models trained on the [OntoNotes 5](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2013T19)
|
||
corpus support the following entity types:
|
||
|
||
| Type | Description |
|
||
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `PERSON` | People, including fictional. |
|
||
| `NORP` | Nationalities or religious or political groups. |
|
||
| `FAC` | Buildings, airports, highways, bridges, etc. |
|
||
| `ORG` | Companies, agencies, institutions, etc. |
|
||
| `GPE` | Countries, cities, states. |
|
||
| `LOC` | Non-GPE locations, mountain ranges, bodies of water. |
|
||
| `PRODUCT` | Objects, vehicles, foods, etc. (Not services.) |
|
||
| `EVENT` | Named hurricanes, battles, wars, sports events, etc. |
|
||
| `WORK_OF_ART` | Titles of books, songs, etc. |
|
||
| `LAW` | Named documents made into laws. |
|
||
| `LANGUAGE` | Any named language. |
|
||
| `DATE` | Absolute or relative dates or periods. |
|
||
| `TIME` | Times smaller than a day. |
|
||
| `PERCENT` | Percentage, including "%". |
|
||
| `MONEY` | Monetary values, including unit. |
|
||
| `QUANTITY` | Measurements, as of weight or distance. |
|
||
| `ORDINAL` | "first", "second", etc. |
|
||
| `CARDINAL` | Numerals that do not fall under another type. |
|
||
|
||
### Wikipedia scheme {#ner-wikipedia-scheme}
|
||
|
||
Models trained on Wikipedia corpus
|
||
([Nothman et al., 2013](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0004370212000276))
|
||
use a less fine-grained NER annotation scheme and recognise the following
|
||
entities:
|
||
|
||
| Type | Description |
|
||
| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `PER` | Named person or family. |
|
||
| `LOC` | Name of politically or geographically defined location (cities, provinces, countries, international regions, bodies of water, mountains). |
|
||
| `ORG` | Named corporate, governmental, or other organizational entity. |
|
||
| `MISC` | Miscellaneous entities, e.g. events, nationalities, products or works of art. |
|
||
|
||
### IOB Scheme {#iob}
|
||
|
||
| Tag | ID | Description |
|
||
| ----- | --- | ------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `"I"` | `1` | Token is inside an entity. |
|
||
| `"O"` | `2` | Token is outside an entity. |
|
||
| `"B"` | `3` | Token begins an entity. |
|
||
| `""` | `0` | No entity tag is set (missing value). |
|
||
|
||
### BILUO Scheme {#biluo}
|
||
|
||
| Tag | Description |
|
||
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------- |
|
||
| **`B`**EGIN | The first token of a multi-token entity. |
|
||
| **`I`**N | An inner token of a multi-token entity. |
|
||
| **`L`**AST | The final token of a multi-token entity. |
|
||
| **`U`**NIT | A single-token entity. |
|
||
| **`O`**UT | A non-entity token. |
|
||
|
||
> #### Why BILUO, not IOB?
|
||
>
|
||
> There are several coding schemes for encoding entity annotations as token
|
||
> tags. These coding schemes are equally expressive, but not necessarily equally
|
||
> learnable. [Ratinov and Roth](http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W09-1119) showed
|
||
> that the minimal **Begin**, **In**, **Out** scheme was more difficult to learn
|
||
> than the **BILUO** scheme that we use, which explicitly marks boundary tokens.
|
||
|
||
spaCy translates the character offsets into this scheme, in order to decide the
|
||
cost of each action given the current state of the entity recogniser. The costs
|
||
are then used to calculate the gradient of the loss, to train the model. The
|
||
exact algorithm is a pastiche of well-known methods, and is not currently
|
||
described in any single publication. The model is a greedy transition-based
|
||
parser guided by a linear model whose weights are learned using the averaged
|
||
perceptron loss, via the
|
||
[dynamic oracle](http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/C12-1059) imitation learning
|
||
strategy. The transition system is equivalent to the BILUO tagging scheme.
|
||
|
||
## Models and training data {#training}
|
||
|
||
### JSON input format for training {#json-input}
|
||
|
||
spaCy takes training data in JSON format. The built-in
|
||
[`convert`](/api/cli#convert) command helps you convert the `.conllu` format
|
||
used by the
|
||
[Universal Dependencies corpora](https://github.com/UniversalDependencies) to
|
||
spaCy's training format. To convert one or more existing `Doc` objects to
|
||
spaCy's JSON format, you can use the
|
||
[`gold.docs_to_json`](/api/goldparse#docs_to_json) helper.
|
||
|
||
> #### Annotating entities
|
||
>
|
||
> Named entities are provided in the [BILUO](#biluo) notation. Tokens outside an
|
||
> entity are set to `"O"` and tokens that are part of an entity are set to the
|
||
> entity label, prefixed by the BILUO marker. For example `"B-ORG"` describes
|
||
> the first token of a multi-token `ORG` entity and `"U-PERSON"` a single token
|
||
> representing a `PERSON` entity. The
|
||
> [`biluo_tags_from_offsets`](/api/goldparse#biluo_tags_from_offsets) function
|
||
> can help you convert entity offsets to the right format.
|
||

### Example structure
|
||
[{
|
||
"id": int, # ID of the document within the corpus
|
||
"paragraphs": [{ # list of paragraphs in the corpus
|
||
"raw": string, # raw text of the paragraph
|
||
"sentences": [{ # list of sentences in the paragraph
|
||
"tokens": [{ # list of tokens in the sentence
|
||
"id": int, # index of the token in the document
|
||
"dep": string, # dependency label
|
||
"head": int, # offset of token head relative to token index
|
||
"tag": string, # part-of-speech tag
|
||
"orth": string, # verbatim text of the token
|
||
"ner": string # BILUO label, e.g. "O" or "B-ORG"
|
||
}],
|
||
"brackets": [{ # phrase structure (NOT USED by current models)
|
||
"first": int, # index of first token
|
||
"last": int, # index of last token
|
||
"label": string # phrase label
|
||
}]
|
||
}],
|
||
"cats": [{ # new in v2.2: categories for text classifier
|
||
"label": string, # text category label
|
||
"value": float / bool # label applies (1.0/true) or not (0.0/false)
|
||
}]
|
||
}]
|
||
}]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Here's an example of dependencies, part-of-speech tags and names entities, taken
|
||
from the English Wall Street Journal portion of the Penn Treebank:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/tree/master/examples/training/training-data.json
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Lexical data for vocabulary {#vocab-jsonl new="2"}
|
||
|
||
To populate a model's vocabulary, you can use the
|
||
[`spacy init-model`](/api/cli#init-model) command and load in a
|
||
[newline-delimited JSON](http://jsonlines.org/) (JSONL) file containing one
|
||
lexical entry per line via the `--jsonl-loc` option. The first line defines the
|
||
language and vocabulary settings. All other lines are expected to be JSON
|
||
objects describing an individual lexeme. The lexical attributes will be then set
|
||
as attributes on spaCy's [`Lexeme`](/api/lexeme#attributes) object. The `vocab`
|
||
command outputs a ready-to-use spaCy model with a `Vocab` containing the lexical
|
||
data.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
### First line
|
||
{"lang": "en", "settings": {"oov_prob": -20.502029418945312}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
### Entry structure
|
||
{
|
||
"orth": string, # the word text
|
||
"id": int, # can correspond to row in vectors table
|
||
"lower": string,
|
||
"norm": string,
|
||
"shape": string
|
||
"prefix": string,
|
||
"suffix": string,
|
||
"length": int,
|
||
"cluster": string,
|
||
"prob": float,
|
||
"is_alpha": bool,
|
||
"is_ascii": bool,
|
||
"is_digit": bool,
|
||
"is_lower": bool,
|
||
"is_punct": bool,
|
||
"is_space": bool,
|
||
"is_title": bool,
|
||
"is_upper": bool,
|
||
"like_url": bool,
|
||
"like_num": bool,
|
||
"like_email": bool,
|
||
"is_stop": bool,
|
||
"is_oov": bool,
|
||
"is_quote": bool,
|
||
"is_left_punct": bool,
|
||
"is_right_punct": bool
|
||
}
|
||
```
