spaCy is a powerful Natural Language Processing library in Python. It is designed to help you build applications that process and “understand” large volumes of text.
spaCy is not only fast (it's the fastest in the world, according to some benchmarks), but it can also handle huge amounts of text. This is thanks to its efficient algorithms that tokenized, parse and tag textual data.
spaCy comes with a lot of features out of the box:
- Tokenization
- Part-of-speech tagging
- Dependency parsing
- Sentence boundary detection
- Named entity recognition
- Word vectors
spaCy also provides advanced features, such as:
- Text classification
- Information extraction
- Question answering
- Summarization
- Translation
If you're working on a project that requires any of these tasks, spaCy is the library you want to use.
