## SpEL (Structured prediction for Entity Linking)
SpEL model finetuned on English Wikipedia as well as the training portion of CoNLL2003/AIDA.
It is introduced in the paper [SPEL: Structured Prediction for Entity Linking (EMNLP 2023)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.14684).
The code and data are available in [this repository](https://github.com/shavarani/SpEL).
### Usage
The following snippet demonstrates a quick way that SpEL can be used to generate subword-level, word-level, and phrase-level annotations for a sentence.
```python
# download SpEL from https://github.com/shavarani/SpEL
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from spel.model import SpELAnnotator, dl_sa
from spel.configuration import device
from spel.utils import get_subword_to_word_mapping
from spel.span_annotation import WordAnnotation, PhraseAnnotation
finetuned_after_step = 4
sentence = "Grace Kelly by Mika reached the top of the UK Singles Chart in 2007."
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("roberta-base")
# ############################################# LOAD SpEL #############################################################
spel = SpELAnnotator()
spel.init_model_from_scratch(device=device)
if finetuned_after_step == 3:
spel.shrink_classification_head_to_aida(device)
spel.load_checkpoint(None, device=device, load_from_torch_hub=True, finetuned_after_step=finetuned_after_step)
# ############################################# RUN SpEL ##############################################################
inputs = tokenizer(sentence, return_tensors="pt")
token_offsets = list(zip(inputs.encodings[0].tokens,inputs.encodings[0].offsets))
subword_annotations = spel.annotate_subword_ids(inputs.input_ids, k_for_top_k_to_keep=10, token_offsets=token_offsets)
# #################################### CREATE WORD-LEVEL ANNOTATIONS ##################################################
tokens_offsets = token_offsets[1:-1]
subword_annotations = subword_annotations[1:]
for sa in subword_annotations:
sa.idx2tag = dl_sa.mentions_itos
word_annotations = [WordAnnotation(subword_annotations[m[0]:m[1]], tokens_offsets[m[0]:m[1]])
for m in get_subword_to_word_mapping(inputs.tokens(), sentence)]
# ################################## CREATE PHRASE-LEVEL ANNOTATIONS ##################################################
phrase_annotations = []
for w in word_annotations:
if not w.annotations:
continue
if phrase_annotations and phrase_annotations[-1].resolved_annotation == w.resolved_annotation:
phrase_annotations[-1].add(w)
else:
phrase_annotations.append(PhraseAnnotation(w))
# ################################## PRINT OUT THE CREATED ANNOTATIONS ################################################
for phrase_annotation in phrase_annotations:
print(dl_sa.mentions_itos[phrase_annotation.resolved_annotation])
```
