## merge_noun_chunks {#merge_noun_chunks tag="function"}
|
|
|
|
Merge noun chunks into a single token. Also available via the string name
|
|
`"merge_noun_chunks"`.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> texts = [t.text for t in nlp("I have a blue car")]
|
|
> assert texts == ["I", "have", "a", "blue", "car"]
|
|
>
|
|
> nlp.add_pipe("merge_noun_chunks")
|
|
> texts = [t.text for t in nlp("I have a blue car")]
|
|
> assert texts == ["I", "have", "a blue car"]
|
|
> ```

Since noun chunks require part-of-speech tags and the dependency parse, make
|
|
sure to add this component _after_ the `"tagger"` and `"parser"` components. By
|
|
default, `nlp.add_pipe` will add components to the end of the pipeline and after
|
|
all other components.

| Name | Description |
|
|
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `doc` | The `Doc` object to process, e.g. the `Doc` in the pipeline. ~~Doc~~ |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | The modified `Doc` with merged noun chunks. ~~Doc~~ |
|
|
|
|
## merge_entities {#merge_entities tag="function"}
|
|
|
|
Merge named entities into a single token. Also available via the string name
|
|
`"merge_entities"`.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> texts = [t.text for t in nlp("I like David Bowie")]
|
|
> assert texts == ["I", "like", "David", "Bowie"]
|
|
>
|
|
> nlp.add_pipe("merge_entities")
|
|
>
|
|
> texts = [t.text for t in nlp("I like David Bowie")]
|
|
> assert texts == ["I", "like", "David Bowie"]

Since named entities are set by the entity recognizer, make sure to add this
|
|
component _after_ the `"ner"` component. By default, `nlp.add_pipe` will add
|
|
components to the end of the pipeline and after all other components.

|
## merge_subtokens {#merge_subtokens tag="function" new="2.1"}
|
|
|
|
Merge subtokens into a single token. Also available via the string name
|
|
`"merge_subtokens"`. As of v2.1, the parser is able to predict "subtokens" that
|
|
should be merged into one single token later on. This is especially relevant for
|
|
languages like Chinese, Japanese or Korean, where a "word" isn't defined as a
|
|
whitespace-delimited sequence of characters. Under the hood, this component uses
|
|
the [`Matcher`](/api/matcher) to find sequences of tokens with the dependency
|
|
label `"subtok"` and then merges them into a single token.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> Note that this example assumes a custom Chinese model that oversegments and
|
|
> was trained to predict subtokens.
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> doc = nlp("拜托")
|
|
> print([(token.text, token.dep_) for token in doc])
|
|
> # [('拜', 'subtok'), ('托', 'subtok')]
|
|
>
|
|
> nlp.add_pipe("merge_subtokens")
|
|
> doc = nlp("拜托")
|
|
> print([token.text for token in doc])
|
|
> # ['拜托']
|
|
> ```

| `doc` | The `Doc` object to process, e.g. the `Doc` in the pipeline. ~~Doc~~ |
|

## token_splitter {#token_splitter tag="function" new="3.0"}
|
|
|
|
Split tokens longer than a minimum length into shorter tokens. Intended for use
|
|
with transformer pipelines where long spaCy tokens lead to input text that
|
|
exceed the transformer model max length. See
|
|
[managing transformer model max length limitations](/usage/embeddings-transformers#transformer-max-length).
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> config = {"min_length": 20, "split_length": 5}
|
|
> nlp.add_pipe("token_splitter", config=config, first=True)
|
|
> doc = nlp("aaaaabbbbbcccccdddddee")
|
|
> print([token.text for token in doc])
|
|
> # ['aaaaa', 'bbbbb', 'ccccc', 'ddddd', 'ee']
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Description |
|
|
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `min_length` | The minimum length for a token to be split. Defaults to `25`. ~~int~~ |
|
|
| `split_length` | The length of the split tokens. Defaults to `5`. ~~int~~ |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | The modified `Doc` with the split tokens. ~~Doc~~ |
