spacy_crfsuite: CRF tagger for spaCy.

Sequence tagging with spaCy and crfsuite.

A port of Rasa NLU.

✨ Features

  • Simple but tough to beat CRF entity tagger ( via sklearn-crfsuite)
  • spaCy NER component
  • Command line interface for training & evaluation and example notebook
  • CoNLL, JSON and Markdown annotations
  • Pre-trained NER component

⏳ Installation

pip install spacy_crfsuite

🚀 Quickstart

Usage as a spaCy pipeline component

import spacy

from spacy.language import Language
from spacy_crfsuite import CRFEntityExtractor, CRFExtractor


@Language.factory("ner_crf")
def create_component(nlp, name):
    crf_extractor = CRFExtractor().from_disk("spacy_crfsuite_conll03_sm.bz2")
    return CRFEntityExtractor(nlp, crf_extractor=crf_extractor)


nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm", disable=["ner"])
nlp.add_pipe("ner_crf")

doc = nlp(
    "George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) is an American politician and businessman "
    "who served as the 43rd president of the United States from 2001 to 2009.")

for ent in doc.ents:
    print(ent, "-", ent.label_)

# Output:
# George Walker Bush - PER
# American - MISC
# United States - LOC

Visualization (via Gradio)

Run the command below to launch a Gradio playground

$ pip install gradio
$ python spacy_crfsuite/visualize.py

Pre-trained models

You can download a pre-trained model.

Train your own model

Below is a command line to train a simple model for restaurants search bot with markdown annotations and save it to disk. If you prefer working on jupyter, follow this notebook.

$ python -m spacy_crfsuite.train examples/restaurent_search.md -c examples/default-config.json -o model/ -lm en_core_web_sm

Below is a command line to test the CRF model and print the classification report (In the example we use the training set, however normally we would use a held out set).

$ python -m spacy_crfsuite.eval examples/restaurent_search.md -m model/model.pkl -lm en_core_web_sm

   macro avg      1.000     1.000     1.000        17
weighted avg      1.000     1.000     1.000        17

Now we can use the tagger for named entity recognition in a spaCy pipeline!

import spacy

from spacy.language import Language
from spacy_crfsuite import CRFEntityExtractor, CRFExtractor


@Language.factory("ner_crf")
def create_component(nlp, name):
    crf_extractor = CRFExtractor().from_disk("model/model.pkl")
    return CRFEntityExtractor(nlp, crf_extractor=crf_extractor)


nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm", disable=["ner"])
nlp.add_pipe("ner_crf")

doc = nlp("show mexican restaurents up north")
for ent in doc.ents:
    print(ent.text, "--", ent.label_)

# Output:
# mexican -- cuisine
# north -- location

Or alternatively as a standalone component

from spacy_crfsuite import CRFExtractor
from spacy_crfsuite.tokenizer import SpacyTokenizer

crf_extractor = CRFExtractor().from_disk("model/model.pkl")
tokenizer = SpacyTokenizer()

example = {"text": "show mexican restaurents up north"}
tokenizer.tokenize(example, attribute="text")
crf_extractor.process(example)

# Output:
# [{'start': 5,
#   'end': 12,
#   'value': 'mexican',
#   'entity': 'cuisine',
#   'confidence': 0.5823148506311286},
#  {'start': 28,
#   'end': 33,
#   'value': 'north',
#   'entity': 'location',
#   'confidence': 0.8863076478494413}]

We can also take a look at what model learned.

Use the .explain() method to understand model decision.

print(crf_extractor.explain())

# Output:
#
# Most likely transitions:
# O          -> O          1.637338
# B-cuisine  -> I-cuisine  1.373766
# U-cuisine  -> O          1.306077
# I-cuisine  -> L-cuisine  0.915989
# O          -> U-location 0.751463
# B-cuisine  -> L-cuisine  0.698893
# O          -> U-cuisine  0.480360
# U-location -> U-cuisine  0.403487
# O          -> B-cuisine  0.261450
# L-cuisine  -> O          0.182695
#
