|

| #[strong new features and improvements]. The #[+a("/api") API docs]
|
||

|

| spaCy v2.0 features new neural models for tagging,
|
||
| parsing and entity recognition. The models have
|
||
| been designed and implemented from scratch specifically for spaCy, to
|
||
| give you an unmatched balance of speed, size and accuracy. The new
|
||
| models are #[strong 10× smaller], #[strong 20% more accurate],
|
||
| and #[strong even cheaper to run] than the previous generation.
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| spaCy v2.0's new neural network models bring significant improvements in
|
||
| accuracy, especially for English Named Entity Recognition. The new
|
||
| #[+a("/models/en#en_core_web_lg") #[code en_core_web_lg]] model makes
|
||
| about #[strong 25% fewer mistakes] than the corresponding v1.x model and
|
||
| is within #[strong 1% of the current state-of-the-art]
|
||
| (#[+a("https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.02098.pdf") Strubell et al., 2017]).
|
||
| The v2.0 models are also cheaper to run at scale, as they require
|
||
| #[strong under 1 GB of memory] per process.

| #[code Language] class, or load a model that initialises one. This allows
|
||
| languages to contain more custom data, e.g. lemmatizer lookup tables, or
|
||
| complex regular expressions. The language data has also been tidied up
