A spaCy NLP System is a Python/Cython-based natural language processing library.

  • Context:
    • It can be designed for production usage, offering high-speed performance and state-of-the-art accuracy.
    • It can be used for various NLP tasks such as tokenization, named-entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging, and syntactic parsing.
    • It is known for its non-destructive tokenization, meaning the original text can be fully reconstructed from the tokenized output.
    • It supports over 25 languages with statistical models for 8 languages and pre-trained word vectors.
    • It integrates with deep learning frameworks, allowing for the use of convolutional neural network models for tagging, parsing, and named entity recognition.
    • It provides built-in visualizers for syntax and named entities, aiding in the analysis and interpretation of text data.
    • It is designed with a focus on efficiency, scalability, and integration into existing Python-based software stacks.
    • It is released under the MIT license, making it freely available for commercial and non-commercial use.
    • ...
  • Example(s):
    • v3.x (2021-present): Enhanced models with transformer support, improved pipeline customization, and added features for machine learning workflows.
    • v2.x (2017-2020): Introduction of convolutional neural network models for NLP tasks and improvements in API for model training and updating.
      • v2.0.11 (2018-04-04).
    • v1.x (~2015-2017): Initial releases focusing on providing a solid foundation for NLP tasks with efficiency and ease of use.

offer different sets of features.
