Introducing spaCy v3.6spaCy v3.6 introduces the span finder component and trained pipelines for Slovenian.
floret: lightweight, robust word vectorsAn exploration of floret vectors: lightweight vectors for noisy data, novel words, rich morphology and more.
Compact word vectors with Bloom embeddingsAn introduction to the compact word vectors with Bloom embeddings used in Thinc, spaCy and floret.
Introducing spaCy v3.0spaCy v3.0 is a huge release! It features new transformer-based pipelines that get spaCy's accuracy right up to the current state-of-the-art, and a new workflow system to help you take projects from prototype to production. It's much easier to configure and train your pipeline, and there are lots of new and improved integrations with the rest of the NLP ecosystem.
Introducing spaCy v3.5spaCy v3.5 introduces new CLI commands, fuzzy matching, improvements for entity linking and more.
Introducing spaCy v3.4spaCy v3.4 brings typing and speed improvements along with new vectors for English CNN pipelines and new trained pipelines for Croatian.
Universal Dependencies v2.5 Benchmarks for spaCyWe present Universal Dependencies v2.5 benchmarks for spaCy v3.2 that show the competitive performance of spaCy in a direct comparison with Stanza and Trankit using the end-to-end evaluation from the CoNLL 2018 Shared Task.
Introducing spaCy v2.3spaCy now speaks Chinese, Japanese, Danish, Polish and Romanian! Version 2.3 of the spaCy Natural Language Processing library adds models for five new languages. We've also updated all 15 model families with word vectors and improved accuracy, while also decreasing model size and loading times for models with vectors.
Multi hash embeddings in spaCyMiranda, Kádár, Boyd, Van Landeghem, Søgaard, Honnibal (2022)In this technical report we lay out a bit of history and introduce the embedding methods in spaCy in detail. Second, we critically evaluate the hash embedding architecture with multi-embeddings on Named Entity Recognition datasets from a variety of domains and languages. The experiments validate most key design choices behind spaCy’s embedders, but we also uncover a few surprising results.
Spancat: a new approach for span labelingThe SpanCategorizer is a spaCy component that answers the NLP community's need to have structured annotation for a wide variety of labeled spans, including long phrases, non-named entities, or overlapping annotations. In this blog post, we're excited to talk more about spancat and showcase new features to help with your span labeling needs!
Introducing spaCy v3.2spaCy v3.2 features usability improvements for custom training and scoring, improved performance and support for floret, our new fastText word vectors algorithm.
End-to-end Neural Coreference Resolution in spaCyCoreference resolution is the problem of resolving entities in texts to references such as pronouns. Even if you've never heard of it, it's something we all do constantly every day, and is a key to understanding natural language. We recently added an experimental implementation of an end-to-end neural coreference component to spaCy. This post explains the architecture of our model in detail.
Introducing spaCy v3.3spaCy v3.3 improves the speed of core pipeline components, adds a new trainable lemmatizer, and introduces trained pipelines for Finnish, Korean and Swedish.
Introducing spaCy v3.1It’s been great to see the adoption of spaCy v3, which introduced transformer-based pipelines, a new training system and more. Version 3.1 adds more on top of it, including the ability to use predicted annotations during training, a component for predicting arbitrary and overlapping spans and new pipelines for Catalan and Danish.
