I fell for self-help so you don’t have to

Ines Montani

I hate to admit it, but during my late teenage years and the beginning of my adult life, I massively fell for self-help blogs. I was unhappy, didn’t particularly like myself and had no idea where I would end up one day so I started spending hours on the internet looking for “answers”. (Yeah, this probably sounds familiar.) I was never particularly interested in conventional luxuries - think fancy hotels, designer s**t, glitter and cupcakes - but for a while I believed that this is what I needed

Introducing spaCy

Explosion

spaCy is a new library for text processing in Python and Cython. I wrote it because I think small companies are terrible at natural language processing (NLP). Or rather: small companies are using terrible NLP technology. This post shows the original launch announcement for spaCy , which came with some usage examples and benchmarks. The benchmarks are quite out of date, but I’m pleased to say usage has changed relatively little.

Dead Code Should Be Buried

Explosion

Natural Language Processing moves fast, so maintaining a good library means constantly throwing things away. Most libraries are failing badly at this, as academics hate to editorialize. This post explains the problem, why it's so damaging, and why I wrote spaCy to do things differently.

Natural Language Processing moves fast, so maintaining a good library means constantly throwing things away. Most libraries are failing badly at this, as academics hate to editorialize. This post explains the problem, why it’s so damaging, and why I wrote spaCy to do things differently. Imagine: you try to use Google Translate, but it asks you to first select which model you want.

Introducing spaCy

Explosion

Computers don't understand text. This is unfortunate, because that's what the web almost entirely consists of. We want to recommend people text based on other text they liked. We want to shorten text to display it on a mobile screen. We want to aggregate it, link it, filter it, categorise it, generate it and correct it. spaCy provides a library of utility functions that help programmers build such products.

How spaCy Works

Explosion

The following are some hasty preliminary notes on how spaCy works. The short story is, there are no new killer algorithms. The way that the tokenizer works is novel and a bit neat, and the parser has a new feature set, but otherwise the key algorithms are well known in the recent literature. This post was pushed out in a hurry, immediately after spaCy was released.
