//- 💫 DOCS > USAGE > WHAT'S NEW IN V2.0 > SUMMARY
|

p
|
|
| We're very excited to finally introduce spaCy v2.0! On this page, you'll
|
|
| find a summary of the new features, information on the backwards
|
|
| incompatibilities, including a handy overview of what's been renamed or
|
|
| deprecated. To help you make the most of v2.0, we also
|
|
| #[strong re-wrote almost all of the usage guides and API docs], and added
|
|
| more #[+a("/usage/examples") real-world examples]. If you're new to
|
|
| spaCy, or just want to brush up on some NLP basics and the details of
|
|
| the library, check out the
|
|
| #[+a("/usage/spacy-101") spaCy 101 guide] that explains the most
|
|
| important concepts with examples and illustrations.

|
|
| This release features entirely new
|
|
| #[strong deep learning-powered models] for spaCy's tagger,
|
|
| parser and entity recognizer. The new models are
|
|
| #[strong 10× smaller], #[strong 20% more accurate] and
|
|
| #[strong even cheaper to run] than the previous generation.
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| We've also made several usability improvements that are
|
|
| particularly helpful for #[strong production deployments].
|
|
| spaCy v2 now fully supports the Pickle protocol, making it
|
|
| easy to use spaCy with
|
|
| #[+a("https://spark.apache.org/") Apache Spark]. The
|
|
| string-to-integer mapping is #[strong no longer stateful],
|
|
| making it easy to reconcile annotations made in different
|
|
| processes. Models are smaller and use less memory, and the
|
|
| APIs for serialization are now much more consistent. Custom
|
|
| pipeline components let you modify the #[code Doc] at any
|
|
| stage in the pipeline. You can now also add your own
|
|
| custom attributes, properties and methods to the #[code Doc],
|
|
| #[code Token] and #[code Span].

|
|
| The main usability improvements you'll notice in spaCy v2.0 are around
|
|
| #[strong defining, training and loading your own models] and components.
|
|
| The new neural network models make it much easier to train a model from
|
|
| scratch, or update an existing model with a few examples. In v1.x, the
|
|
| statistical models depended on the state of the #[code Vocab]. If you
|
|
| taught the model a new word, you would have to save and load a lot of
|
|
| data — otherwise the model wouldn't correctly recall the features of your
|
|
| new example. That's no longer the case.
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| Due to some clever use of hashing, the statistical models
|
|
| #[strong never change size], even as they learn new vocabulary items.
|
|
| The whole pipeline is also now fully differentiable. Even if you don't
|
|
| have explicitly annotated data, you can update spaCy using all the
|
|
| #[strong latest deep learning tricks] like adversarial training, noise
|
|
| contrastive estimation or reinforcement learning.
