Edit indices

[jvhoffbauer]

What is the domain of Error.o_start, etc? Are they token indices within spaCy docs?

[chrisjbryant]

Yes. It's the token index for the edit within the original sentence. Edit.c_start is the same thing but for the offset in the corrected sentence.

[jvhoffbauer]

Thanks. Just to clarify - this assumes spaCy tokenisation or is it another method?

[chrisjbryant]

It makes no assumption at all.

If your text is untokenised, you can add a flag to make spacy do the tokenisation.
If your text is tokenised, you can split on whitespace and load the text as spacy Token objects directly.
