if you're doing something unusual. You may wish to make the

instance a global variable or 'singleton'.

The text to be processed. spaCy expects raw unicode text
|
||
– you don't necessarily need to, say, split it into paragraphs.
|
||
However, depending on your documents, you might be better
|
||
off applying custom pre-processing. Non-text formatting,
|
||
e.g. from HTML mark-up, should be removed before sending
|
||
the document to spaCy. If your documents have a consistent
|
||
format, you may be able to improve accuracy by pre-processing.
|
||
For instance, if the first word of your documents are always
|
||
in upper-case, it may be helpful to normalize them before
|
||
supplying them to spaCy.

spaCy releases the global interpreter lock around the parser and

named entity recognizer, allowing shared-memory parallelism via

OpenMP. However, OpenMP is not supported on OSX — so multiple

threads will only be used on Linux and Windows.

+cell batch_size
|

+cell.
|
||
The number of texts to buffer. Let's say you have a
|
||
#[code batch_size] of 1,000. The input, #[code texts], is
|
||
a generator that yields the texts one-by-one. We want to
|
||
operate on them in parallel. So, we accumulate a work queue.
|
||
Instead of taking one document from #[code texts] and
|
||
operating on it, we buffer #[code batch_size] documents,
|
||
work on them in parallel, and then yield them one-by-one.
|
||
Higher #[code batch_size] therefore often results in better
|
||
parallelism, up to a point.
