Extensions

On each span span that match, the following attributes are available:

  • span._.detailed_status: set to None

Examples

import edsnlp, edsnlp.pipes as eds

nlp = edsnlp.blank("eds")
nlp.add_pipe(eds.sentences())
nlp.add_pipe(
    eds.normalizer(
        accents=True,
        lowercase=True,
        quotes=True,
        spaces=True,
        pollution=dict(
            information=True,
            bars=True,
            biology=True,
            doctors=True,
            web=True,
            coding=True,
            footer=True,
        ),
    ),
)
nlp.add_pipe(eds.hemiplegia())

Below are a few examples:

text = "Patient hémiplégique"
doc = nlp(text)
spans = doc.spans["hemiplegia"]

spans
# Out: [hémiplégique]
text = "Paralysie des membres inférieurs"
doc = nlp(text)
spans = doc.spans["hemiplegia"]

spans
# Out: [Paralysie des membres]
text = "Patient en LIS"
doc = nlp(text)
spans = doc.spans["hemiplegia"]

spans
# Out: [LIS]
