Extensions

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

span._.detailed_status: set to "PRESENT"

Examples

import edsnlp

nlp = edsnlp.blank("eds")
nlp.add_pipe("eds.sentences")
nlp.add_pipe(
    "eds.normalizer",
    config=dict(
        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(f"eds.dementia")

Below are a few examples:

text = "D'importants déficits cognitifs"
doc = nlp(text)
spans = doc.spans["dementia"]

spans
# Out: [déficits cognitifs]

text = "Patient atteint de démence"
doc = nlp(text)
spans = doc.spans["dementia"]

spans
# Out: [démence]

text = "On retrouve des anti-SLA"
doc = nlp(text)
spans = doc.spans["dementia"]

spans
# Out: []

text = "Une maladie de Charcot"
doc = nlp(text)
spans = doc.spans["dementia"]

spans
# Out: [maladie de Charcot]
