textacy: NLP, before and after spaCy

textacy is a Python library for performing a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks, built on the high-performance spaCy library. With the fundamentals --- tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing, etc. --- delegated to another library, textacy focuses primarily on the tasks that come before and follow after.

• Extract structured information from processed documents, including n-grams, entities, acronyms, keyterms, and SVO triples
