# spacy_crfsuite: CRF tagger for spaCy.

Sequence tagging with spaCy and crfsuite.

A port of [Rasa NLU](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/blob/master/rasa/nlu/extractors/crf_entity_extractor.py).

## ✨ Features

- Simple but tough to beat **CRF entity tagger** (
via [sklearn-crfsuite](https://github.com/TeamHG-Memex/sklearn-crfsuite))
- **spaCy NER component**
- **Command line interface** for training & evaluation and **example notebook**
- [CoNLL](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W03-0419/), JSON
and [Markdown](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/nlu/training-data-format/#id5) **annotations**
- Pre-trained NER component

## ⏳ Installation

```bash
pip install spacy_crfsuite
```

## 🚀 Quickstart

### Usage as a spaCy pipeline component

```python
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](https://gradio.app/named_entity_recognition/))

Run the command below to launch a Gradio playground

```sh
$ pip install gradio
$ python spacy_crfsuite/visualize.py
```

### Pre-trained models

You can download a pre-trained model.

| Dataset | F1 | 📥 Download |

### Train your own model

Below is a command line to train a simple model for restaurants search bot with [markdown
annotations](https://github.com/talmago/spacy_crfsuite/blob/master/examples/restaurent_search.md) and save it to disk.
If you prefer working on jupyter, follow this [notebook](https://github.com/talmago/spacy_crfsuite/blob/master/examples/01%20-%20Custom%20Component.ipynb).

```sh
$ python -m spacy_crfsuite.train examples/restaurent_search.md -c examples/default-config.json -o model/ -lm en_core_web_sm
ℹ Loading config from disk
✔ Successfully loaded config from file.
examples/default-config.json
ℹ Loading training examples.
✔ Successfully loaded 15 training examples from file.
examples/restaurent_search.md
ℹ Using spaCy model: en_core_web_sm
ℹ Training entity tagger with CRF.
ℹ Saving model to disk
✔ Successfully saved model to file.
model/model.pkl
```

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).

```sh
$ python -m spacy_crfsuite.eval examples/restaurent_search.md -m model/model.pkl -lm en_core_web_sm
ℹ Loading model from file
model/model.pkl
✔ Successfully loaded CRF tagger

ℹ Loading dev dataset from file

✔ Successfully loaded 15 dev examples.
ℹ Using spaCy model: en_core_web_sm
ℹ Classification Report:

B-cuisine 1.000 1.000 1.000 2
I-cuisine 1.000 1.000 1.000 1
L-cuisine 1.000 1.000 1.000 2
U-cuisine 1.000 1.000 1.000 5
U-location 1.000 1.000 1.000 7

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!

```python
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

```python
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.

```python
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
#
# Positive features:
# 1.976502 O 0:bias:bias
# 1.957180 U-location -1:low:the
# 1.216547 B-cuisine -1:low:for
# 1.153924 U-location 0:prefix5:centr
# 1.153924 U-location 0:prefix2:ce
# 1.110536 U-location 0:digit

# 1.058294 U-cuisine 0:prefix2:ch
# 1.051457 U-cuisine 0:suffix2:an
# 0.999976 U-cuisine -1:low:me
```

> **Notice**: You can also access the `crf_extractor` directly with ```nlp.get_pipe("crf_ner").crf_extractor```.
