p
|
||
| As of v2.0, our popular visualizers, #[+a(DEMOS_URL + "/displacy") displaCy]
|
||
| and #[+a(DEMOS_URL + "/displacy-ent") displaCy #[sup ENT]] are finally an
|
||
| official part of the library. Visualizing a dependency parse or named
|
||
| entities in a text is not only a fun NLP demo – it can also be incredibly
|
||
| helpful in speeding up development and debugging your code and training
|
||
| process. Instead of printing a list of dependency labels or entity spans,
|
||
| you can simply pass your #[code Doc] objects to #[code displacy] and view
|
||
| the visualizations in your browser, or export them as HTML files or
|
||
| vector graphics.
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| If you're running a #[+a("https://jupyter.org") Jupyter] notebook,
|
||
| displaCy will detect this and return the markup in a format
|
||
| #[+a("#jupyter") ready to be rendered and exported].
|
||
|
||
+aside("What about the old visualizers?")
|
||
| Our JavaScript-based visualizers #[+src(gh("displacy")) displacy.js] and
|
||
| #[+src(gh("displacy-ent")) displacy-ent.js] will still be available on
|
||
| GitHub. If you're looking to implement web-based visualizations, we
|
||
| generally recommend using those instead of spaCy's built-in
|
||
| #[code displacy] module. It'll allow your application to perform all
|
||
| rendering on the client and only rely on the server for the text
|
||
| processing. The generated markup is also more compatible with modern web
|
||
| standards.

+h(2, "getting-started") Getting started

p
|
||
| The quickest way visualize #[code Doc] is to use
|
||
| #[+api("displacy#serve") #[code displacy.serve]]. This will spin up a
|
||
| simple web server and let you view the result straight from your browser.
|
||
| displaCy can either take a single #[code Doc] or a list of #[code Doc]
|
||
| objects as its first argument. This lets you construct them however you
|
||
| like – using any model or modifications you like.
|
||
|
||
+h(3, "dep") Visualizing the dependency parse
|
||
|

+aside("Important note")
|
||
| There's currently a known issue with the #[code compact] mode for

|

||
| especially when using custom labels, you'll have to increase the

| #[code distance] setting in the #[code options] to allow longer arcs.

||
+codepen("a73f8b68f9af3157855962b283b364e4", 345)
|
||
|
||
p The entity visualizer lets you customise the following #[code options]:
|
||
|
||
+table(["Name", "Type", "Description", "Default"])
|
||
+row
|
||
+cell #[code ents]
|
||
+cell list

+cell dict

|
||
| color names or values.
|
||
+cell #[code {}]
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| If you specify a list of #[code ents], only those entity types will be
|
||
| rendered – for example, you can choose to display #[code PERSON] entities.
|
||
| Internally, the visualizer knows nothing about available entity types and
|
||
| will render whichever spans and labels it receives. This makes it
|
||
| especially easy to work with custom entity types. By default, displaCy
|
||
| comes with colours for all
|
||
| #[+a("/docs/api/annotation#named-entities") entity types supported by spaCy].
|
||
| If you're using custom entity types, you can use the #[code colors]
|
||
| setting to add your own colours for them.
|
||
|
||
+aside-code("Options example").
|
||
colors = {'ORG': 'linear-gradient(90deg, #aa9cfc, #fc9ce7)'}

|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| The above example uses a little trick: Since the background colour values
|
||
| are added as the #[code background] style attribute, you can use any
|
||
| #[+a("https://tympanus.net/codrops/css_reference/background/") valid background value]
|
||
| or shorthand — including gradients and even images!
|
||
|
||
+h(3, "ent-titles") Adding titles to documents
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| Rendering several large documents on one page can easily become confusing.
|
||
| To add a headline to each visualization, you can add a #[code title] to
|
||
| its #[code user_data]. User data is never touched or modified by spaCy.
|
||
|
||
+code.
|
||
doc = nlp(u'This is a sentence about Google.')
|
||
doc.user_data['title'] = 'This is a title'
|
||
displacy.serve(doc, style='ent')
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| This feature is espeically handy if you're using displaCy to compare
|
||
| performance at different stages of a process, e.g. during training. Here
|
||
| you could use the title for a brief description of the text example and
|
||
| the number of iterations.
|
||
|
||
+h(2, "render") Rendering visualizations
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| If you don't need the web server and just want to generate the markup
|
||
| – for example, to export it to a file or serve it in a custom
|
||
| way – you can use #[+api("displacy#render") #[code displacy.render]].
|
||
| It works the same way, but returns a string containing the markup.
|
||
|
||
+code("Example").
|
||
import spacy
|
||
from spacy import displacy
|
||
|
||
nlp = spacy.load('en')

doc1 = nlp(u'This is a sentence.')

doc2 = nlp(u'This is another sentence.')

html = displacy.render([doc1, doc2], style='dep', page=True)
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| #[code page=True] renders the markup wrapped as a full HTML page.
|
||
| For minified and more compact HTML markup, you can set #[code minify=True].
|
||
| If you're rendering a dependency parse, you can also export it as an
|
||
| #[code .svg] file.
|
||
|
||
+aside("What's SVG?")
|
||
| Unlike other image formats, the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) uses XML
|
||
| markup that's easy to manipulate
|
||
| #[+a("https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/11/styling-and-animating-svgs-with-css/") using CSS] or
|
||
| #[+a("https://css-tricks.com/smil-is-dead-long-live-smil-a-guide-to-alternatives-to-smil-features/") JavaScript].
|
||
| Essentially, SVG lets you design with code, which makes it a perfect fit
|
||
| for visualizing dependency trees. SVGs can be embedded online in an
|
||
| #[code <img>] tag, or inlined in an HTML document. They're also
|
||
| pretty easy to #[+a("https://convertio.co/image-converter/") convert].
|
||
|
||
+code.
|
||
svg = displacy.render(doc, style='dep')

||
output_path = Path('/images/sentence.svg')
|
||
output_path.open('w', encoding='utf-8').write(svg)
|
||
|
||
+infobox("Important note")
|
||
| Since each visualization is generated as a separate SVG, exporting
|
||
| #[code .svg] files only works if you're rendering #[strong one single doc]
|
||
| at a time. (This makes sense – after all, each visualization should be
|
||
| a standalone graphic.) So instead of rendering all #[code Doc]s at one,
|
||
| loop over them and export them separately.

|
||
| If you want to use the visualizers as part of a web application, for
|
||
| example to create something like our
|
||
| #[+a(DEMOS_URL + "/displacy") online demo], it's not recommended to
|
||
| simply wrap and serve the displaCy renderer. Instead, you should only
|
||
| rely on the server to perform spaCy's processing capabilities, and use
|
||
| #[+a(gh("displacy")) displaCy.js] to render the JSON-formatted output.
|
||
|
||
+aside("Why not return the HTML by the server?")
|
||
| It's certainly possible to just have your server return the markup.
|
||
| But outputting raw, unsanitised HTML is risky and makes your app vulnerable to
|
||
| #[+a("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting") cross-site scripting]
|
||
| (XSS). All your user needs to do is find a way to make spaCy return text
|
||
| like #[code <script src="malicious-code.js"><script>], which
|
||
| is pretty easy in NER mode. Instead of relying on the server to render
|
||
| and sanitise HTML, you can do this on the client in JavaScript.
|
||
| displaCy.js creates the markup as DOM nodes and will never insert raw
|
||
| HTML.
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| The #[code parse_deps] function takes a #[code Doc] object and returns
|
||
| a dictionary in a format that can be rendered by displaCy.

||
|
||
p
|
||
| Using a library like #[+a("https://falconframework.org/") Falcon] or
|
||
| #[+a("http://www.hug.rest/") Hug], you can easily turn the above code
|
||
| into a simple REST API that receives a text and returns a JSON-formatted
