Hearst Patterns

This component implements Automatic Aquisition of Hyponyms from Large Text Corpora using the SpaCy Matcher component.

Passing extended=True to the HyponymDetector will use the extended set of hearst patterns, which include higher recall but lower precision hyponymy relations (e.g X compared to Y, X similar to Y, etc).

This component produces a doc level attribute on the spacy doc: doc._.hearst_patterns, which is a list containing tuples of extracted hyponym pairs. The tuples contain:

  • The relation rule used to extract the hyponym (type: str)
  • The more general concept (type: spacy.Span)
  • The more specific concept (type: spacy.Span)

Usage:

import spacy
from scispacy.hyponym_detector import HyponymDetector

nlp = spacy.load("en_core_sci_sm")
hyponym_pipe = HyponymDetector(nlp, extended=True)
nlp.add_pipe(hyponym_pipe, last=True)

doc = nlp("Keystone plant species such as fig trees are good for the soil.")

print(doc._.hearst_patterns)
>>> [('such_as', Keystone plant species, fig trees)]

Ontonotes Mixin: Clear Format > UD

Thanks to Yoav Goldberg for this fix! Yoav noticed that the dependency labels for the Onotonotes data use a different format than the converted GENIA Trees. Yoav wrote some scripts to convert between them, including normalising of some syntactic phenomena that were being treated inconsistently between the two corpora.
