Labeling entities in multilingual text using spaCy and Pandas can help extract useful information from large amounts of unstructured data and make that data more actionable. It has many real-world applications. Like: 

  • Information extraction: Entity labeling can help to extract structured information from unstructured text. For example, suppose you are processing a large corpus of news articles. In that case, you might use entity labeling to extract the names of people, organizations, and locations mentioned in the articles and then use that information to build a database of news sources and subjects. 
  • Content moderation: Online platforms often use entity labeling to identify potentially problematic content. For instance, if a user posts a message that contains a name or reference to a known terrorist group, the platform might flag that message for review by a human moderator. 
  • Marketing and advertising: Entity labeling can help identify customers' interests and preferences based on their online behavior. For example, suppose a customer frequently searches for products related to a particular sports team. In that case, an online retailer might use that information to target that customer with ads for team merchandise. 


spacy.load is a function in the spaCy library that loads a specific language model. Language models are used for various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such as tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing, and named entity recognition. When you call spacy.load(model_name), spaCy will look for the installed language model with the name model_name and load it into memory. 

  • spacy.load('en_core_web_lg') loads the spaCy English language model, which includes vocabulary, syntax, and named entity recognition (NER) capabilities. This "large" version of the English model includes more features and better accuracy than the smaller models. 
  • spacy.load('de_core_news_lg') loads the spaCy German language model, which also includes vocabulary, syntax, and NER capabilities, but for the German language. Similarly to the English model, this is the "large" version of the German model, which has higher accuracy and more features than the smaller models. 


By loading these models, you can use them to analyze text in English and German, respectively. This can be useful in various natural language processing tasks, such as sentiment analysis, social network analysis, or customer feedback analysis, where it may be relevant to identify the people mentioned in the text. 

Preview of the output that you will get on running this code from your IDE

Code

In this solution we used en_core_web_lg function of spacy

  1. Copy the code using the "Copy" button above, and paste it in a Python file in your IDE.
  2. Enter the Text
  3. Run the file were the two arguments will pass at same time and give the output.


I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for "Appy two arguments with Spacy " in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.


  1. The solution is created in Python 3.7.15 Version
  2. The solution is tested on Spacy 3.4.3 Version
  3. The solution is tested on Pandas 1.3.5 Version


Using this solution, we can pass two arguments in a same code with the help of function in spacy . This process also facilities an easy to use, hassle free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us pass the arguments in python.
