The `Lemmatizer` supports simple part-of-speech-sensitive suffix rules and
|
|
lookup tables.
|
|
|
|
## Lemmatizer.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Create a `Lemmatizer`.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> from spacy.lemmatizer import Lemmatizer
|
|
> lemmatizer = Lemmatizer()
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ------------ | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `index` | dict / `None` | Inventory of lemmas in the language. |
|
|
| `exceptions` | dict / `None` | Mapping of string forms to lemmas that bypass the `rules`. |
|
|
| `rules` | dict / `None` | List of suffix rewrite rules. |
|
|
| `lookup` | dict / `None` | Lookup table mapping string to their lemmas. |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | `Lemmatizer` | The newly created object. |
|
|
|
|
## Lemmatizer.\_\_call\_\_ {#call tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Lemmatize a string.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> from spacy.lemmatizer import Lemmatizer
|
|
> from spacy.lang.en import LEMMA_INDEX, LEMMA_EXC, LEMMA_RULES
|
|
> lemmatizer = Lemmatizer(LEMMA_INDEX, LEMMA_EXC, LEMMA_RULES)
|
|
> lemmas = lemmatizer(u"ducks", u"NOUN")
|
|
> assert lemmas == [u"duck"]
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ------------ | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `string` | unicode | The string to lemmatize, e.g. the token text. |
|
|
| `univ_pos` | unicode / int | The token's universal part-of-speech tag. |
|
|
| `morphology` | dict / `None` | Morphological features following the [Universal Dependencies](http://universaldependencies.org/) scheme. |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | list | The available lemmas for the string. |
|
|
|
|
## Lemmatizer.lookup {#lookup tag="method" new="2"}
|
|
|
|
Look up a lemma in the lookup table, if available. If no lemma is found, the
|
|
original string is returned. Languages can provide a
|
|
[lookup table](/usage/adding-languages#lemmatizer) via the `lemma_lookup`
|
|
variable, set on the individual `Language` class.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> lookup = {u"going": u"go"}
|
|
> lemmatizer = Lemmatizer(lookup=lookup)
|
|
> assert lemmatizer.lookup(u"going") == u"go"
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ----------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `string` | unicode | The string to look up. |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | unicode | The lemma if the string was found, otherwise the original string. |
|
|
|
|
## Lemmatizer.is_base_form {#is_base_form tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Check whether we're dealing with an uninflected paradigm, so we can avoid
|
|
lemmatization entirely.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> pos = "verb"
|
|
> morph = {"VerbForm": "inf"}
|
|
> is_base_form = lemmatizer.is_base_form(pos, morph)
|
|
> assert is_base_form == True
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ------------ | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `univ_pos` | unicode / int | The token's universal part-of-speech tag. |
|
|
| `morphology` | dict | The token's morphological features. |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | bool | Whether the token's part-of-speech tag and morphological features describe a base form. |
|
