    |  In this example, we'll be using #[+a("https://keras.io/") Keras], as
    |  it's the most popular deep learning library for Python. Let's assume
    |  you've written a custom sentiment analysis model that predicts whether a
    |  document is positive or negative. Now you want to find which entities
    |  are commonly associated with positive or negative documents. Here's a
    |  quick example of how that can look at runtime.

+aside("What's Keras?")
    |  #[+a("https://keras.io/") Keras] gives you a high-level, declarative
    |  interface to define neural networks. Models are trained using Google's
    |  #[+a("https://www.tensorflow.org") TensorFlow] by default.
    |  #[+a("http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/") Theano] is also
    |  supported.

    def count_entity_sentiment(nlp, texts):
        '''Compute the net document sentiment for each entity in the texts.'''
        entity_sentiments = collections.Counter(float)
        for doc in nlp.pipe(texts, batch_size=1000, n_threads=4):
            for ent in doc.ents:
                entity_sentiments[ent.text] += doc.sentiment
        return entity_sentiments

    def load_nlp(lstm_path, lang_id='en'):
        def create_pipeline(nlp):
            return [nlp.tagger, nlp.entity, SentimentAnalyser.load(lstm_path, nlp)]
        return spacy.load(lang_id, create_pipeline=create_pipeline)

p
    |  All you have to do is pass a #[code create_pipeline] callback function
    |  to #[code spacy.load()]. The function should take a
    |  #[code spacy.language.Language] object as its only argument, and return
    |  a sequence of callables. Each callable should accept a
    |  #[+api("docs") #[code Doc]] object, modify it in place, and return
    |  #[code None].

p
    |  Of course, operating on single documents is inefficient, especially for
    |  deep learning models. Usually we want to annotate many texts, and we
    |  want to process them in parallel. You should therefore ensure that your
    |  model component also supports a #[code .pipe()] method. The
    |  #[code .pipe()] method should be a well-behaved generator function that
    |  operates on arbitrarily large sequences. It should consume a small
    |  buffer of documents, work on them in parallel, and yield them one-by-one.

    |  By default, spaCy 1.0 downloads and uses the 300-dimensional
    |  #[+a("http://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/glove/") GloVe] common crawl
    |  vectors. It's also easy to replace these vectors with ones you've
    |  trained yourself, or to disable the word vectors entirely. If you've
    |  installed your word vectors into spaCy's #[+api("vocab") #[code Vocab]]
    |  object, here's how to use them in a Keras model:

+code("Training with Keras").
    def train(train_texts, train_labels, dev_texts, dev_labels,
            lstm_shape, lstm_settings, lstm_optimizer, batch_size=100, nb_epoch=5):
        nlp = spacy.load('en', parser=False, tagger=False, entity=False)
        embeddings = get_embeddings(nlp.vocab)
        model = compile_lstm(embeddings, lstm_shape, lstm_settings)
        train_X = get_features(nlp.pipe(train_texts))
        dev_X = get_features(nlp.pipe(dev_texts))
        model.fit(train_X, train_labels, validation_data=(dev_X, dev_labels),
                  nb_epoch=nb_epoch, batch_size=batch_size)
        return model

    def compile_lstm(embeddings, shape, settings):
        model = Sequential()
        model.add(
            Embedding(
                embeddings.shape[1],
                embeddings.shape[0],
                input_length=shape['max_length'],
                trainable=False,
                weights=[embeddings]
            )
        )
        model.add(Bidirectional(LSTM(shape['nr_hidden'])))
        model.add(Dropout(settings['dropout']))
        model.add(Dense(shape['nr_class'], activation='sigmoid'))
        model.compile(optimizer=Adam(lr=settings['lr']), loss='binary_crossentropy',
                      metrics=['accuracy'])

        return model

    def get_embeddings(vocab):
        max_rank = max(lex.rank for lex in vocab if lex.has_vector)
        vectors = numpy.ndarray((max_rank+1, vocab.vectors_length), dtype='float32')
        for lex in vocab:
            if lex.has_vector:
                vectors[lex.rank] = lex.vector
        return vectors

    def get_features(docs, max_length):
        Xs = numpy.zeros(len(list(docs)), max_length, dtype='int32')
        for i, doc in enumerate(docs):
            for j, token in enumerate(doc[:max_length]):
                Xs[i, j] = token.rank if token.has_vector else 0
        return Xs

    |  For most applications, I recommend using pre-trained word embeddings
    |  without "fine-tuning". This means that you'll use the same embeddings
    |  across different models, and avoid learning adjustments to them on your
    |  training data. The embeddings table is large, and the values provided by
    |  the pre-trained vectors are already pretty good. Fine-tuning the
    |  embeddings table is therefore a waste of your "parameter budget". It's
    |  usually better to make your network larger some other way, e.g. by
    |  adding another LSTM layer, using attention mechanism, using character
    |  features, etc.

    |  Earlier, we saw how to store data in the new generic #[code user_data]
    |  dict. This generalises well, but it's not terribly satisfying. Ideally,
    |  we want to let the custom data drive more "native" behaviours. For
    |  instance, consider the #[code .similarity()] methods provided by spaCy's
    |  #[+api("doc") #[code Doc]], #[+api("token") #[code Token]] and
    |  #[+api("span") #[code Span]] objects:

+code("Polymorphic similarity example").
    span.similarity(doc)
    token.similarity(span)
    doc1.similarity(doc2)

p
    |  By default, this just averages the vectors for each document, and
    |  computes their cosine. Obviously, spaCy should make it easy for you to
    |  install your own similarity model. This introduces a tricky design
    |  challenge. The current solution is to add three more dicts to the
    |  #[code Doc] object:

+aside("Implementation note")
    |  The hooks live on the #[code Doc] object because the #[code Span] and
    |  #[code Token] objects are created lazily, and don't own any data. They
    |  just proxy to their parent #[code Doc]. This turns out to be convenient
    |  here — we only have to worry about installing hooks in one place.

    |  To sum up, here's an example of hooking in custom #[code .similarity()]
    |  methods:

+code("Add custom similarity hooks").
    class SimilarityModel(object):
        def __init__(self, model):
            self._model = model

        def __call__(self, doc):
            doc.user_hooks['similarity'] = self.similarity
            doc.user_span_hooks['similarity'] = self.similarity
            doc.user_token_hooks['similarity'] = self.similarity

        def similarity(self, obj1, obj2):
            y = self._model([obj1.vector, obj2.vector])
            return float(y[0])
