Contextually-keyed word vectors

Project description

sense2vec: Contextually-keyed word vectors

sense2vec (Trask et. al, 2015) is a nice twist on word2vec that lets you learn more interesting and detailed word vectors. This library is a simple Python implementation for loading, querying and training sense2vec models. For more details, check out our blog post. To explore the semantic similarities across all Reddit comments of 2015 and 2019, see the interactive demo.

🦆 Version 1.0 out now! Read the release notes here.

Azure Pipelines Current Release Version pypi Version Code style: black

✨ Features

  • Query vectors for multi-word phrases based on part-of-speech tags and entity labels.
  • spaCy pipeline component and extension attributes.
  • Fully serializable so you can easily ship your sense2vec vectors with your spaCy model packages.
  • Optional caching of nearest neighbors for super fast "most similar" queries.
  • Train your own vectors using a pretrained spaCy model, raw text and GloVe or Word2Vec via fastText (details).
  • Prodigy annotation recipes for evaluating models, creating lists of similar multi-word phrases and converting them to match patterns, e.g. for rule-based NER or to bootstrap NER annotation (details & examples).

🚀 Quickstart

Standalone usage

from sense2vec import Sense2Vec

s2v = Sense2Vec().from_disk("/path/to/s2v_reddit_2015_md")
query = "natural_language_processing|NOUN"
assert query in s2v
vector = s2v[query]
freq = s2v.get_freq(query)
most_similar = s2v.most_similar(query, n=3)
# [('machine_learning|NOUN', 0.8986967),
#  ('computer_vision|NOUN', 0.8636297),
#  ('deep_learning|NOUN', 0.8573361)]

Usage as a spaCy pipeline component

import spacy
from sense2vec import Sense2VecComponent

nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
s2v = Sense2VecComponent(nlp.vocab).from_disk("/path/to/s2v_reddit_2015_md")
nlp.add_pipe(s2v)

doc = nlp("A sentence about natural language processing.")
assert doc[3:6].text == "natural language processing"
freq = doc[3:6]._.s2v_freq
vector = doc[3:6]._.s2v_vec
most_similar = doc[3:6]._.s2v_most_similar(3)
# [(('machine learning', 'NOUN'), 0.8986967),
#  (('computer vision', 'NOUN'), 0.8636297),
#  (('deep learning', 'NOUN'), 0.8573361)]

Interactive demos

To try out our pretrained vectors trained on Reddit comments, check out the interactive sense2vec demo.

This repo also includes a Streamlit demo script for exploring vectors and the most similar phrases. After installing streamlit, you can run the script with streamlit run and one or more paths to pretrained vectors as positional arguments on the command line. For example:

pip install streamlit
streamlit run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/explosion/sense2vec/master/scripts/streamlit_sense2vec.py /path/to/vectors

Pretrained vectors

To use the vectors, download the archive(s) and pass the extracted directory to Sense2Vec.from_disk or Sense2VecComponent.from_disk. The vector files are attached to the GitHub release. Large files have been split into multi-part downloads.

Vectors Size Description 📥 Download (zipped)
s2v_reddit_2019_lg 4 GB Reddit comments 2019 (01-07) part 1, part 2, part 3
s2v_reddit_2015_md 573 MB Reddit comments 2015 part 1

To merge the multi-part archives, you can run the following:

cat s2v_reddit_2019_lg.tar.gz.* > s2v_reddit_2019_lg.tar.gz

⏳ Installation & Setup

sense2vec releases are available on pip:

pip install sense2vec

To use pretrained vectors, download one of the vector packages, unpack the .tar.gz archive and point from_disk to the extracted data directory:

from sense2vec import Sense2Vec
s2v = Sense2Vec().from_disk("/path/to/s2v_reddit_2015_md")

👩‍💻 Usage

Usage with spaCy v2.2+

The easiest way to use the library and vectors is to plug it into your spaCy pipeline. The sense2vec package exposes a Sense2VecComponent, which can be initialised with the shared vocab and added to your spaCy pipeline as a custom pipeline component. By default, components are added to the end of the pipeline, which is the recommended position for this component, since it needs access to the dependency parse and, if available, named entities.

import spacy
from sense2vec import Sense2VecComponent

nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
s2v = Sense2VecComponent(nlp.vocab).from_disk("/path/to/s2v_reddit_2015_md")
nlp.add_pipe(s2v)

The component will add several extension attributes and methods to spaCy's Token and Span objects that let you retrieve vectors and frequencies, as well as most similar terms.

doc = nlp("A sentence about natural language processing.")
assert doc[3:6].text == "natural language processing"
freq = doc[3:6]._.s2v_freq
vector = doc[3:6]._.s2v_vec
most_similar = doc[3:6]._.s2v_most_similar(3)

For entities, the entity labels are used as the "sense" (instead of the token's part-of-speech tag):

doc = nlp("A sentence about Facebook and Google.")
for ent in doc.ents:
    assert ent._.in_s2v
    most_similar = ent._.s2v_most_similar(3)

Available attributes

The following extension attributes are exposed on the Doc object via the ._ property:

Name Attribute Type Type Description
s2v_phrases property list All sense2vec-compatible phrases in the given Doc (noun phrases, named entities).

The following attributes are available via the ._ property of Token and Span objects – for example token._.in_s2v:

Name Attribute Type Return Type Description
in_s2v property bool Whether a key exists in the vector map.
s2v_key property unicode The sense2vec key of the given object, e.g. `"duck
s2v_vec property ndarray[float32] The vector of the given key.
s2v_freq property int The frequency of the given key.
s2v_other_senses property list Available other senses, e.g. `"duck
s2v_most_similar method list Get the n most similar terms. Returns a list of ((word, sense), score) tuples.
s2v_similarity method float Get the similarity to another Token or Span.

⚠️ A note on span attributes: Under the hood, entities in doc.ents are Span objects. This is why the pipeline component also adds attributes and methods to spans and not just tokens. However, it's not recommended to use the sense2vec attributes on arbitrary slices of the document, since the model likely won't have a key for the respective text. Span objects also don't have a part-of-speech tag, so if no entity label is present, the "sense" defaults to the root's part-of-speech tag.

Standalone usage

You can also use the underlying Sense2Vec class directly and load in the vectors using the from_disk method. See below for the available API methods.

from sense2vec import Sense2Vec
s2v = Sense2Vec().from_disk("/path/to/reddit_vectors-1.1.0")
most_similar = s2v.most_similar("natural_language_processing|NOUN", n=10)

⚠️ Important note: To look up entries in the vectors table, the keys need to follow the scheme of phrase_text|SENSE (note the _ instead of spaces and the | before the tag or label) – for example, machine_learning|NOUN. Also note that the underlying vector table is case-sensitive.

class registry

Function registry (powered by catalogue) to easily customize the functions used to generate keys and phrases. Allows you to decorate and name custom functions, swap them out and serialize the custom names when you save out the model. The following registry options are available:

Name Description
registry.make_key Given a word and sense, return a string of the key, e.g. `"word
registry.split_key Given a string key, return a (word, sense) tuple.
registry.make_spacy_key Given a spaCy object (Token or Span) and a boolean prefer_ents keyword argument (whether to prefer the entity label for single tokens), return a (word, sense) tuple. Used in extension attributes to generate a key for tokens and spans.
registry.get_phrases Given a spaCy Doc, return a list of Span objects used for sense2vec phrases (typically noun phrases and named entities).
registry.merge_phrases Given a spaCy Doc, get all sense2vec phrases and merge them into single tokens. 

Each registry has a register method that can be used as a function decorator and takes one argument, the name of the custom function.

from sense2vec import registry

@registry.make_key.register("custom")
def custom_make_key(word, sense):
    return f"{word}###{sense}"

@registry.split_key.register("custom")
def custom_split_key(key):
    word, sense = key.split("###")
    return word, sense

When initializing the Sense2Vec object, you can now pass in a dictionary of overrides with the names of your custom registered functions.

overrides = {"make_key": "custom", "split_key": "custom"}
s2v = Sense2Vec(overrides=overrides)

This makes it easy to experiment with different strategies and serializing the strategies as plain strings (instead of having to pass around and/or pickle the functions themselves).

🚂 Training your own sense2vec vectors

The /scripts directory contains command line utilities for preprocessing text and training your own vectors.

Requirements

To train your own sense2vec vectors, you'll need the following:

  • A very large source of raw text (ideally more than you'd use for word2vec, since the senses make the vocabulary more sparse). We recommend at least 1 billion words.
  • A pretrained spaCy model that assigns part-of-speech tags, dependencies and named entities, and populates the doc.noun_chunks. If the language you need doesn't provide a built in syntax iterator for noun phrases, you'll need to write your own. (The doc.noun_chunks and doc.ents are what sense2vec uses to determine what's a phrase.)
  • GloVe or fastText installed and built. You should be able to clone the repo and run make in the respective directory.

Step-by-step process

The training process is split up into several steps to allow you to resume at any given point. Processing scripts are designed to operate on single files, making it easy to parallellize the work. The scripts in this repo require either Glove or fastText which you need to clone and make.

For Fasttext, the scripts will require the path to the created binary file. If you're working on Windows, you can build with cmake, or alternatively use the .exe file from this unofficial repo with FastText binary builds for Windows: https://github.com/xiamx/fastText/releases.

Script Description
1. 01_parse.py Use spaCy to parse the raw text and output binary collections of Doc objects (see DocBin).
2. 02_preprocess.py Load a collection of parsed Doc objects produced in the previous step and output text files in the sense2vec format (one sentence per line and merged phrases with senses).
3. 03_glove_build_counts.py Use GloVe to build the vocabulary and counts. Skip this step if you're using Word2Vec via FastText.
4. 04_glove_train_vectors.py
04_fasttext_train_vectors.py
Use GloVe or FastText to train vectors.
5. 05_export.py Load the vectors and frequencies and output a sense2vec component that can be loaded via Sense2Vec.from_disk.
6. 06_precompute_cache.py Optional: Precompute nearest-neighbor queries for every entry in the vocab to make Sense2Vec.most_similar faster.

For more detailed documentation of the scripts, check out the source or run them with --help. For example, python scripts/01_parse.py --help.

🍳 Prodigy recipes

This package also seamlessly integrates with the Prodigy annotation tool and exposes recipes for using sense2vec vectors to quickly generate lists of multi-word phrases and bootstrap NER annotations. To use a recipe, sense2vec needs to be installed in the same environment as Prodigy. For an example of a real-world use case, check out this NER project with downloadable datasets.

The following recipes are available – see below for more detailed docs.

Recipe Description
sense2vec.teach Bootstrap a terminology list using sense2vec.
sense2vec.to-patterns Convert phrases dataset to token-based match patterns.
sense2vec.eval Evaluate a sense2vec model by asking about phrase triples.

sense2vec.eval-ab Perform an A/B evaluation of two pretrained sense2vec vector models.

recipe sense2vec.teach

Bootstrap a terminology list using sense2vec. Prodigy will suggest similar terms based on the most similar phrases from sense2vec, and the suggestions will be adjusted as you annotate and accept similar phrases. For each seed term, the best matching sense according to the sense2vec vectors will be used.
