dacy 2.3.0

A Danish pipeline trained in SpaCy that has achieved State-of-the-Art performance on all dependency parsing, NER and POS-tagging for Danish

DaCy: An efficient NLP Pipeline for Danish

DaCy is a Danish natural language preprocessing framework made with SpaCy. Its largest pipeline has achieved State-of-the-Art performance on Named entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging and dependency parsing for Danish. Feel free to try out the demo. This repository contains material for using DaCy, reproducing the results and guides on usage of the package. Furthermore, it also contains behavioural tests for biases and robustness of Danish NLP pipelines.

🔧 Installation

To get started using DaCy simply install it using pip by running the following line in your terminal:

pip install dacy

👩‍💻 Usage

To use the model you first have to download either the small, medium, or large model. To see a list of all available models:

import dacy
for model in dacy.models():
    print(model)
# ...
# da_dacy_small_trf-0.1.0
# da_dacy_medium_trf-0.1.0
# da_dacy_large_trf-0.1.0

To download and load a model simply execute:

nlp = dacy.load("da_dacy_medium_tfrf-0.1.0")
# or equivalently
nlp = dacy.load("medium")

Which will download the model to the .dacy directory in your home directory.

To download the model to a specific directory:

dacy.download_model("da_dacy_medium_trf-0.1.0", your_save_path)
nlp = dacy.load_model("da_dacy_medium_trf-0.1.0", your_save_path)

Acknowledgements

DaCy is a result of great open-source software and contributors. It wouldn't have been possible without the work by the SpaCy team which developed and integrated the software. Huggingface for developing Transformers and making model sharing convenient. Multiple parties including Certainly.io and Malte Hojmark-Bertelsen for making their models publicly available. Alexandra Institute for developing and maintaining DaNLP which has made it easy to get access to Danish resources and even supplied some of the tagged data themselves.
