DaCy: An efficient and unified framework for danish NLP

DaCy is a Danish natural language preprocessing framework made with SpaCy. Its largest pipeline has achieved State-of-the-Art performance on Named entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging and dependency parsing for Danish. Feel free to try out the demo. This repository contains material for using DaCy, reproducing the results and guides on the usage of the package. Furthermore, it also contains behavioral tests for biases and robustness of Danish NLP pipelines.

🔧 Installation

You can install dacy via pip from PyPI:

pip install dacy

👩‍💻 Usage

To use the model you first have to download either the small, medium, or large model. To see a list of all available models:

import dacy
for model in dacy.models():
    print(model)
# ...
# da_dacy_small_trf-0.2.0
# da_dacy_medium_trf-0.2.0
# da_dacy_large_trf-0.2.0

To download and load a model simply execute:

nlp = dacy.load("da_dacy_medium_trf-0.2.0")
# or equivalently (always loads the latest version)
nlp = dacy.load("medium")

To see more examples, see the documentation.
