  summary: h4 Overview
  
  p.
    This document describes the target annotations spaCy is trained to predict.
    This is currently a work in progress. Please ask questions on the issue tracker,
    so that the answers can be integrated here to improve the documentation.

  summary: h4 Tokenization

  p Tokenization standards are based on the OntoNotes 5 corpus.

  p.
    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. For instance:

  pre.language-python
    code
      | from spacy.en import English
      | nlp = English(parse=False)
      | tokens = nlp('Some\nspaces  and\ttab characters')
      | print([t.orth_ for t in tokens])
        
  p Which produces:
    
  pre.language-python
    code
      | ['Some', '\n', 'spaces', ' ', 'and', '\t', 'tab', 'characters']

  p.
    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.

  summary: h4 Sentence boundary detection

  p.
    Sentence boundaries are calculated from the syntactic parse tree, so
    features such as punctuation and capitalisation 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.

  summary: h4 Part-of-speech Tagging

  p.
    The part-of-speech tagger uses the OntoNotes 5 version of the Penn Treebank
    tag set.  We also map the tags to the simpler Google Universal POS Tag set.

  summary: h4 Lemmatization

  p.
    A "lemma" is the uninflected form of a word. In English, this means:

  ul
    li Adjectives: The form like "happy", not "happier" or "happiest"
    li Adverbs: The form like "badly", not "worse" or "worst"
    li Nouns: The form like "dog", not "dogs"; like "child", not "children"
    li Verbs: The form like "write", not "writes", "writing", "wrote" or "written" 

  p.
    The lemmatization data is taken from WordNet. However, we also add a
    special case for pronouns: all pronouns are lemmatized to the special
    token -PRON-.

  summary: h4 Syntactic Dependency Parsing

  p.
    The parser is trained on data produced by the ClearNLP converter. Details
