Open Source Python Neural Network Libraries

spaCy is a library built on the very latest research for advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python and Cython. Since its inception it was designed to be used for real world applications-- for building real products and gathering real insights. It comes with pretrained statistical models and word vectors, convolutional neural network models, easy deep learning integration and so much more. spaCy is the fastest syntactic parser in the world according to independent benchmarks, with an accuracy within 1% of the best available. It's blazing fast, easy to install and comes with a simple and productive API.

Stanza is a collection of accurate and efficient tools for the linguistic analysis of many human languages. Starting from raw text to syntactic analysis and entity recognition, Stanza brings state-of-the-art NLP models to languages of your choosing. Stanza is a Python natural language analysis package. It contains tools, which can be used in a pipeline, to convert a string containing human language text into lists of sentences and words, to generate base forms of those words, their parts of speech and morphological features, to give a syntactic structure dependency parse, and to recognize named entities. The toolkit is designed to be parallel among more than 70 languages, using the Universal Dependencies formalism. Stanza is built with highly accurate neural network components that also enable efficient training and evaluation with your own annotated data.

NLP Architect is an open-source Python library for exploring state-of-the-art deep learning topologies and techniques for optimizing Natural Language Processing and Natural Language Understanding neural networks. The library includes our past and ongoing NLP research and development efforts as part of Intel AI Lab. NLP Architect is designed to be flexible for adding new models, neural network components, data handling methods, and for easy training and running models. NLP Architect is a model-oriented library designed to showcase novel and different neural network optimizations. The library contains NLP/NLU-related models per task, different neural network topologies (which are used in models), procedures for simplifying workflows in the library, pre-defined data processors and dataset loaders and misc utilities. The library is designed to be a tool for model development: data pre-processing, build model, train, validate, infer, save or load a model.

PyTorch-NLP is a library for Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python. It’s built with the very latest research in mind, and was designed from day one to support rapid prototyping. PyTorch-NLP comes with pre-trained embeddings, samplers, dataset loaders, metrics, neural network modules and text encoders. It’s open-source software, released under the BSD3 license. With your batch in hand, you can use PyTorch to develop and train your model using gradient descent. For example, check out this example code for training on the Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) Corpus. Now you've setup your pipeline, you may want to ensure that some functions run deterministically. Wrap any code that's random, with fork_rng and you'll be good to go. Now that you've computed your vocabulary, you may want to make use of pre-trained word vectors to set your embeddings.

fastNLP is a lightweight framework for natural language processing (NLP), the goal is to quickly implement NLP tasks and build complex models. A unified Tabular data container simplifies the data preprocessing process. Built-in Loader and Pipe for multiple datasets, eliminating the need for preprocessing code. Various convenient NLP tools, such as Embedding loading (including ELMo and BERT), intermediate data cache, etc.. Provide a variety of neural network components and recurrence models (covering tasks such as Chinese word segmentation, named entity recognition, syntactic analysis, text classification, text matching, metaphor resolution, summarization, etc.). Trainer provides a variety of built-in Callback functions to facilitate experiment recording, exception capture, etc. Automatic download of some datasets and pre-trained models.
