Document Assigned Attributes of Pipeline Components (#9041) 
* Add textcat docs

* Add NER docs

* Add Entity Linker docs

* Add assigned fields docs for the tagger

This also adds a preamble, since there wasn't one.

* Add morphologizer docs

* Add dependency parser docs

* Update entityrecognizer docs

This is a little weird because `Doc.ents` is the only thing assigned to,
but it's actually a bidirectional property.

* Add token fields for entityrecognizer

* Fix section name

* Add entity ruler docs

* Add lemmatizer docs

* Add sentencizer/recognizer docs

* Update website/docs/api/entityrecognizer.md

* Update website/docs/api/tagger.md

Co-authored-by: Adriane Boyd <adrianeboyd@gmail.com>

* Update website/docs/api/entityruler.md

Co-authored-by: Adriane Boyd <adrianeboyd@gmail.com>

* Update type for Doc.ents

This was `Tuple[Span, ...]` everywhere but `Tuple[Span]` seems to be
correct.

* Run prettier

* Apply suggestions from code review

Co-authored-by: Sofie Van Landeghem <svlandeg@users.noreply.github.com>

* Run prettier

* Add transformers section

This basically just moves and renames the "custom attributes" section
from the bottom of the page to be consistent with "assigned attributes"
on other pages.

I looked at moving the paragraph just above the section into the
section, but it includes the unrelated registry additions, so it seemed
better to leave it unchanged.

* Make table header consistent

title: TextCategorizer
tag: class
source: spacy/pipeline/textcat.py
new: 2
teaser: 'Pipeline component for text classification'
api_base_class: /api/pipe
api_string_name: textcat
api_trainable: true
---
The text categorizer predicts **categories over a whole document**. and comes in
two flavors: `textcat` and `textcat_multilabel`. When you need to predict
exactly one true label per document, use the `textcat` which has mutually
exclusive labels. If you want to perform multi-label classification and predict
zero, one or more true labels per document, use the `textcat_multilabel`
component instead. For a binary classification task, you can use `textcat` with
**two** labels or `textcat_multilabel` with **one** label.
Both components are documented on this page.
<Infobox title="Migration from v2" variant="warning">
In spaCy v2, the `textcat` component could also perform **multi-label
classification**, and even used this setting by default. Since v3.0, the
component `textcat_multilabel` should be used for multi-label classification
instead. The `textcat` component is now used for mutually exclusive classes
only.
</Infobox>
## Assigned Attributes {#assigned-attributes}
Predictions will be saved to `doc.cats` as a dictionary, where the key is the
name of the category and the value is a score between 0 and 1 (inclusive). For
`textcat` (exclusive categories), the scores will sum to 1, while for
`textcat_multilabel` there is no particular guarantee about their sum.
Note that when assigning values to create training data, the score of each
category must be 0 or 1. Using other values, for example to create a document
that is a little bit in category A and a little bit in category B, is not
supported.
| Location | Value |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `Doc.cats` | Category scores. ~~Dict[str, float]~~ |
## 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 (textcat)
>
> ```python
> from spacy.pipeline.textcat import DEFAULT_SINGLE_TEXTCAT_MODEL
> config = {
> "threshold": 0.5,
> "model": DEFAULT_SINGLE_TEXTCAT_MODEL,
> }
> nlp.add_pipe("textcat", config=config)
> ```
> #### Example (textcat_multilabel)
>
> ```python
> from spacy.pipeline.textcat_multilabel import DEFAULT_MULTI_TEXTCAT_MODEL
> config = {
> "threshold": 0.5,
> "model": DEFAULT_MULTI_TEXTCAT_MODEL,
> }
> nlp.add_pipe("textcat_multilabel", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Description |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `threshold` | Cutoff to consider a prediction "positive", relevant when printing accuracy results. ~~float~~ |
| `model` | A model instance that predicts scores for each category. Defaults to [TextCatEnsemble](/api/architectures#TextCatEnsemble). ~~Model[List[Doc], List[Floats2d]]~~ |
```python
%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/pipeline/textcat.py
```
```python
%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/pipeline/textcat_multilabel.py
```
## TextCategorizer.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> # Construction via add_pipe with default model
> # Use 'textcat_multilabel' for multi-label classification
> textcat = nlp.add_pipe("textcat")
>
> # Construction via add_pipe with custom model
> config = {"model": {"@architectures": "my_textcat"}}
> parser = nlp.add_pipe("textcat", config=config)
>
> # Construction from class
> # Use 'MultiLabel_TextCategorizer' for multi-label classification
> from spacy.pipeline import TextCategorizer
> textcat = TextCategorizer(nlp.vocab, model, threshold=0.5)
> ```
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` | The Thinc [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) powering the pipeline component. ~~Model[List[Doc], List[Floats2d]]~~ |
| `name` | String name of the component instance. Used to add entries to the `losses` during training. ~~str~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `threshold` | Cutoff to consider a prediction "positive", relevant when printing accuracy results. ~~float~~ |
## TextCategorizer.\_\_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/textcategorizer#call) and [`pipe`](/api/textcategorizer#pipe)
delegate to the [`predict`](/api/textcategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/textcategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
> textcat = nlp.add_pipe("textcat")
> # This usually happens under the hood
> processed = textcat(doc)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
## TextCategorizer.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/textcategorizer#call) and
[`pipe`](/api/textcategorizer#pipe) delegate to the
[`predict`](/api/textcategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/textcategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> textcat = nlp.add_pipe("textcat")
> for doc in textcat.pipe(docs, batch_size=50):
> pass
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `stream` | A stream of documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `batch_size` | The number of documents to buffer. Defaults to `128`. ~~int~~ |
| **YIELDS** | The processed documents in order. ~~Doc~~ |
## TextCategorizer.initialize {#initialize tag="method" new="3"}
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.
<Infobox variant="warning" title="Changed in v3.0" id="begin_training">
This method was previously called `begin_training`.
</Infobox>
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> textcat = nlp.add_pipe("textcat")
> textcat.initialize(lambda: [], nlp=nlp)
> ```
>
> ```ini
> ### config.cfg
> [initialize.components.textcat]
> positive_label = "POS"
>
> [initialize.components.textcat.labels]
> @readers = "spacy.read_labels.v1"
> path = "corpus/labels/textcat.json

| `nlp` | The current `nlp` object. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Language]~~ |
| `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]]~~ |
| `positive_label` | The positive label for a binary task with exclusive classes, `None` otherwise and by default. This parameter is only used during scoring. It is not available when using the `textcat_multilabel` component. ~~Optional[str]~~ |
## TextCategorizer.predict {#predict tag="method"}
Apply the component's model to a batch of [`Doc`](/api/doc) objects without
modifying them.

## TextCategorizer.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)
