<Infobox title="Important note" variant="warning">
|
|
|
|
This component is not yet integrated into spaCy core, and is available via the
|
|
extension package
|
|
[`spacy-experimental`](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-experimental) starting
|
|
in version 0.6.0. It exposes the component via
|
|
[entry points](/usage/saving-loading/#entry-points), so if you have the package
|
|
installed, using `factory = "experimental_coref"` in your
|
|
[training config](/usage/training#config) or
|
|
`nlp.add_pipe("experimental_coref")` will work out-of-the-box.
|
|
|
|
</Infobox>
|
|
|
|
A `CoreferenceResolver` component groups tokens into clusters that refer to the
|
|
same thing. Clusters are represented as SpanGroups that start with a prefix
|
|
(`coref_clusters` by default).
|
|
|
|
A `CoreferenceResolver` component can be paired with a
|
|
[`SpanResolver`](/api/span-resolver) to expand single tokens to spans.
|
|
|
|
## Assigned Attributes {id="assigned-attributes"}
|
|
|
|
Predictions will be saved to `Doc.spans` as a [`SpanGroup`](/api/spangroup). The
|
|
span key will be a prefix plus a serial number referring to the coreference
|
|
cluster, starting from zero.
|
|
|
|
The span key prefix defaults to `"coref_clusters"`, but can be passed as a
|
|
parameter.
|
|
|
|
| Location | Value |
|
|
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `Doc.spans[prefix + "_" + cluster_number]` | One coreference cluster, represented as single-token spans. Cluster numbers start from 1. ~~SpanGroup~~ |
|
|
|
|
## Config and implementation {id="config"}
|
|
|
|
The default config is defined by the pipeline component factory and describes
|
|
how the component should be configured. You can override its settings via the
|
|
`config` argument on [`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe) or in your
|
|
[`config.cfg` for training](/usage/training#config). See the
|
|
[model architectures](/api/architectures#coref-architectures) documentation for
|
|
details on the architectures and their arguments and hyperparameters.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> from spacy_experimental.coref.coref_component import DEFAULT_COREF_MODEL
|
|

|
|
> config={
|

|
|
> "span_cluster_prefix": DEFAULT_CLUSTER_PREFIX,
|
|

|
|
| `span_cluster_prefix` | The prefix for the keys for clusters saved to `doc.spans`. Defaults to `coref_clusters`. ~~str~~ |
|
|

## CoreferenceResolver.\_\_init\_\_ {id="init",tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> # Construction via add_pipe with default model
|
|
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("experimental_coref")
|
|
>
|
|
> # Construction via add_pipe with custom model
|
|
> config = {"model": {"@architectures": "my_coref.v1"}}
|
|
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("experimental_coref", config=config)
|
|
>
|
|
> # Construction from class
|
|
> from spacy_experimental.coref.coref_component import CoreferenceResolver
|
|
> coref = CoreferenceResolver(nlp.vocab, model)
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
Create a new pipeline instance. In your application, you would normally use a
|
|
shortcut for this and instantiate the component using its string name and
|
|
[`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe).
|
|
|
|
| Name | Description |
|
|
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `vocab` | The shared vocabulary. ~~Vocab~~ |
|
|
| `model` | The [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) powering the pipeline component. ~~Model~~ |
|
|
| `name` | String name of the component instance. Used to add entries to the `losses` during training. ~~str~~ |
|
|
| _keyword-only_ | |
|
|
| `span_cluster_prefix` | The prefix for the key for saving clusters of spans. ~~bool~~ |
|
|
|
|
## CoreferenceResolver.\_\_call\_\_ {id="call",tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Apply the pipe to one document. The document is modified in place and returned.
|
|
This usually happens under the hood when the `nlp` object is called on a text
|
|
and all pipeline components are applied to the `Doc` in order. Both
|
|
[`__call__`](/api/coref#call) and [`pipe`](/api/coref#pipe) delegate to the
|
|
[`predict`](/api/coref#predict) and
|
|
[`set_annotations`](/api/coref#set_annotations) methods.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
|
|
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("experimental_coref")
|
|
> # This usually happens under the hood
|
|
> processed = coref(doc)
|
|
> ```

| Name | Description |
|
|
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
|
|
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
|
|
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
|
|
|
|
## CoreferenceResolver.pipe {id="pipe",tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Apply the pipe to a stream of documents. This usually happens under the hood
|
|
when the `nlp` object is called on a text and all pipeline components are
|
|
applied to the `Doc` in order. Both [`__call__`](/api/coref#call) and
|
|
[`pipe`](/api/coref#pipe) delegate to the [`predict`](/api/coref#predict) and
|
|
[`set_annotations`](/api/coref#set_annotations) methods.
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("experimental_coref")
|

|
## CoreferenceResolver.initialize {id="initialize",tag="method"}
|
|
|
|
Initialize the component for training. `get_examples` should be a function that
|
|
returns an iterable of [`Example`](/api/example) objects. **At least one example
|
|
should be supplied.** The data examples are used to **initialize the model** of
|
|
the component and can either be the full training data or a representative
|
|
sample. Initialization includes validating the network,
|
|
[inferring missing shapes](https://thinc.ai/docs/usage-models#validation) and
|
|
setting up the label scheme based on the data. This method is typically called
|
|
by [`Language.initialize`](/api/language#initialize).
|
|
|
|
> #### Example
|
|
>
|
|
> ```python
|
|
> coref = nlp.add_pipe("experimental_coref")

|
Apply the component's model to a batch of [`Doc`](/api/doc) objects, without
|
|
modifying them. Clusters are returned as a list of `MentionClusters`, one for
|
|
each input `Doc`. A `MentionClusters` instance is just a list of lists of pairs
|
|
of `int`s, where each item corresponds to a cluster, and the `int`s correspond
|
|
to token indices.
