The library respects | your time, and tries to avoid wasting it. It's easy to | install, and its API is simple and productive. I like to | think of spaCy as the Ruby on Rails of Natural Language | Processing. +button("/docs/usage", true, "primary")(target="_self") | Get started +grid-col("third").o-card +h(2) Deep learning p | spaCy is the best way to prepare text for deep learning. | It interoperates seamlessly with | #[+a("https://www.tensorflow.org") TensorFlow], | #[+a("https://keras.io") Keras], | #[+a("http://scikit-learn.org") Scikit-Learn], | #[+a("https://radimrehurek.com/gensim") Gensim] and the | rest of Python's awesome AI ecosystem. spaCy helps you | connect the statistical models trained by these libraries | to the rest of your application. +button("/docs/usage/deep-learning", true, "primary")(target="_self") | Read more .o-inline-list.o-block.u-border-bottom.u-text-small.u-text-center.u-padding-small +a(gh("spaCy") + "/releases") strong.u-text-label.u-color-subtle #[+icon("code", 18)] Latest release: | v#{SPACY_VERSION} .o-content +grid +grid-col("two-thirds") +terminal("lightning_tour.py"). # Install: pip install spacy && python -m spacy.en.download import spacy # Load English tokenizer, tagger, parser, NER and word vectors nlp = spacy.load('en') # Process a document, of any size text = open('war_and_peace.txt').read() doc = nlp(text) # Hook in your own deep learning models similarity_model = load_my_neural_network() def install_similarity(doc): doc.user_hooks['similarity'] = similarity_model nlp.pipeline.append(install_similarity) doc1 = nlp(u'the fries were gross') doc2 = nlp(u'worst fries ever') doc1.similarity(doc2) +grid-col("third") +h(2) Features +list +item Non-destructive #[strong tokenization] +item Syntax-driven sentence segmentation +item Pre-trained #[strong word vectors] +item Part-of-speech tagging +item #[strong Named entity] recognition +item Labelled dependency parsing +item Convenient string-to-int mapping +item Export to numpy data arrays +item GIL-free #[strong multi-threading] +item Efficient binary serialization +item Easy #[strong deep learning] integration +item Statistical models for #[strong English] and #[strong German] +item State-of-the-art speed +item Robust, rigorously evaluated accuracy .o-inline-list +button("/docs/usage/lightning-tour", true, "secondary")(target="_self") | See examples .o-block.u-text-center.u-padding h3.u-text-label.u-color-subtle.o-block spaCy is trusted by .o-block each row in logos each url, name in row +a(url) img(src="/assets/img/logos/#{name}.png" alt="name" width="150").u-padding-medium.u-grayscale br .u-pattern.u-padding +grid.o-card.o-content +grid-col("quarter") img(src="/assets/img/profile_matt.png" width="280") +grid-col("three-quarters") +h(2) What's spaCy all about? p | By 2014, I'd been publishing NLP research for about 10 | years. During that time, I saw a huge gap open between the | technology that Google-sized companies could take to market, | and what was available to everyone else. This was especially | clear when companies started trying to use my research. Like | most researchers, my work was free to read, but expensive to | apply. You could run my code, but its requirements were | narrow. My code's mission in life was to print results | tables for my papers — it was good at this job, and bad at | all others. p | spaCy's #[a(href="/docs/api/philosophy") mission] is to make | cutting-edge NLP practical and commonly available. That's | why I left academia in 2014, to build a production-quality | open-source NLP library. It's why | #[+a("https://twitter.com/_inesmontani") Ines] joined the | project in 2015, to build visualisations, demos and | annotation tools that make NLP technologies less abstract | and easier to use. Together, we've founded | #[+a(COMPANY_URL, true) Explosion AI], to develop data packs | you can drop into spaCy to extend its capabilities. If | you're processing Hindi insurance claims, you need a model | for that. We can build it for you. .o-block +a("https://twitter.com/honnibal") +svg("graphics", "matt-signature", 60, 45).u-color-theme
