Bookmarked: odyCy https://centre-for-humanities-computing.github.io/odyCy/ #Griechisch #NLP #SpaCy odyCy is a state of the art NLP library for Ancient Greek, capable of part-of-speech tagging, morphological analysis, dependency parsing, lemmatization and more.

@tschfflr I don’t know but boosting because I have often found #spaCy documentation to be lacking… #CorpusLinguistics

Does anyone know how the vectors in the #spaCy German model were computed? Are they still word2vec skipgrams? I only found an old blog post so far.

Oh, great: #spaCy requires #click <8.1.0, but #flask requires #click 8.1.3. Hopefully, I won't need spaCy and flask in the same project / #virtualenv.

Excellent article on using #LLMs efficiently by Matthew Hannibal the founder of #Spacy

In short use LLMs to improve the pipeline where they perform best, for generative tasks not to do standard NLP tasks

Interestingly this goes somewhat counter to the #deeplearning course on #prompt engineering

What will production NLP look like, once the dust settles around LLMs? One view is basically “prompts are all you need”. I disagree. I wrote a bit about this when we released #spaCy LLM last week, but the topic deserves its own post, so here it is. https://explosion.ai/blog/against-llm-maximalism

Hedonodon now also shows the word frequencies by sentiment! All toots are translated into English and then sent through the #Spacy #NLP pipeline! https://spacy.io/ Next thing will be a sufficient documentation...

Long overdue #introduction 💖

Hi, I'm Ines, the co-founder and CEO of @explosion – we're the makers of the #NLP library #spaCy, the https://prodi.gy annotation tool and more. I love working on applied real-world NLP, open-source and developer experience.

Obligatory #Introduction:

Hi, I'm Sofie, I've also used the handle "OxyKodit" in the past.

I'm a #software engineer by education, and I did a PhD in #machinelearning and #nlproc, more specifically in #BioNLP.

These days, I work on the awesome open-source library #spaCy @explosion where I'm currently team lead. Combining NLP and open-source programming is like a dream come true 🙂

Last week we posted about #spacy transformer inference on #apple Silicon GPUs:

We also have a tracking issue that you can subscribe to in case you want updates to the Apple Silicon GPU support:

https://github.com/explosion/thinc/issues/792

We recently added support for running spaCy transformer models on Apple Silicon Mac GPUs.

Madeesh Kannan and I have written a blog post with some background and a lot of benchmarks:

https://explosion.ai/blog/metal-performance-shaders

Teasers: transformer pipelines run 4.7 times faster on the M1 Max GPU cores than on its AMX units and the MacBook Air M2 uses less power for GPU inference than CPU inference.

Successfully exploited #spaCy NER as #INCEpTION external recommender for person name annotation.
