Constructor Details

#initialize(nlp, py_doc: nil, text: nil, max_retrial: MAX_RETRIAL) ⇒ Doc

It is recommended to use Language#read method to create a doc. If you need to create one using #initialize, there are two method signatures: ‘Spacy::Doc.new(nlp_id, py_doc: Object)` and `Spacy::Doc.new(nlp_id, text: String)`.

Parameters:

  • nlp (Language) —

    an instance of Language class

  • py_doc (Object) (defaults to: nil) —

    an instance of Python Doc class

  • text (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the text string to be analyzed

def initialize(nlp, py_doc: nil, text: nil, max_retrial: MAX_RETRIAL)
  @py_nlp = nlp
  retrial = 0
  begin
    @py_doc = py_doc || nlp.call(text)
    @text = @py_doc.text
  rescue StandardError
    retrial += 1
    raise "Error: Failed to construct a Doc object" unless retrial <= max_retrial

    sleep 0.5
    retry
  end
end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args) ⇒ Object

Methods defined in Python but not wrapped in ruby-spacy can be called by this dynamic method handling mechanism.

# File 'lib/ruby-spacy.rb', line 485

def method_missing(name, *args)
  @py_doc.send(name, *args)

Class Method Details

.from_bytes(nlp, byte_string) ⇒ Doc

Restores a doc from binary data created by #to_bytes. This is useful for caching processed documents to avoid re-processing.

Examples:

Load doc from file

bytes = File.binread("doc.bin")
doc = Spacy::Doc.from_bytes(nlp, bytes)

Parameters:

  • byte_string (String) —

    binary data from #to_bytes

Returns:

  • (Doc) —

    the restored doc

  py_doc = nlp.py_nlp.call("").from_bytes(py_bytes)
  new(nlp.py_nlp, py_doc: py_doc)
end

Instance Method Details

#[](range) ⇒ Object

Parameters:

  • range (Range) —

    an ordinary Ruby’s range object such as 0..3, 1...4, or ‘3 .. -1`

    only relevant to the ‘dep’ style

Returns:

#span(range_or_start, optional_size = nil) ⇒ Span

Returns a span of the specified range within the doc. The method should be used either of the two ways: ‘Doc#span(range)` or `Doc#spansize_of_span`.

Parameters:

  • range_or_start (Range, Integer) —

    a range object, or, alternatively, an integer that represents the start position of the span

  • optional_size (Integer) (defaults to: nil) —

    an integer representing the size of the span

Returns:

#to_bytes ⇒ String

Serializes the doc to a binary string. The binary data includes all annotations (tokens, entities, etc.) and can be used to restore the doc later without re-processing.

Examples:

Save doc to file

doc = nlp.read("Hello world")
File.binwrite("doc.bin", doc.to_bytes)

Returns:

  • (String) —

    binary representation of the doc
