So FoxType is just Spacy[0]? I honestly thought this might be something different until I checked out the Spacy page and saw FoxType listed as a customer. Kind of a dick move simply repackaging other people's work and passing. It off as your own. (Yes, this is literally just the "displacy" demo.)<p>Spacy is a pretty good system. It's fast, way faster thank NLTK and the Stanford stuff and it's pretty accurate. Also it's licensing is pretty flexible. The only knock I have against it is the lack of bindings for languages other than Python, but whatever.<p>[0] <a href="https://spacy.io/" rel="nofollow">https://spacy.io/</a>
Seems to fall for a lot of easy traps. Garden path sentences ("The old man the boats" or "The horse raced past the barn fell") are parsed wrong, and it parses the two sentences/phrases "When he did that I laughed" and "When he said that I laughed" identically - by interpreting "that" as a preposition in both cases, which it isn't.<p>It's cool that it parses on the fly. But unless it parses <i>correctly</i> I don't see how it actually serves a purpose other than just looking cool.
It doesn't do well on the classic: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffal...</a>
