SpaCy: Industrial-strength NLP with Python and Cython
NLTK has always seemed like a bit of a toy when compared to Stanford CoreNLP. I'd be very curious to see performance/accuracy charts on a number of corpora in comparison to CoreNLP.<p>The Cython implementation makes it somewhat believable that it's faster than CoreNLP, but I'd also like to hear a deep-dive on why it's several times faster, beyond that control over memory layout is the best way to win performance (stipulated). In particular, it would be good to know whether CoreNLP is doing more processing than spaCy or otherwise handling more concerns.<p>Finally, I'd really love to see a feature table comparing spaCy with CoreNLP.<p>Compelling work!
