Question

what is difference between spacy.load(\'en_core_web_sm\') and spacy.load(\'en\')? This link explains different model sizes. But i am still not clea

Answer 1

I had also same issue as I couldnt load module using '''spacy.load()''' You can follow below steps to solve this on windows:

1. download using !python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
2. import en_core_web_sm as import en_core_web_sm
3. load using en_core_web_sm.load() to some variable

Complete code will be:

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

import en_core_web_sm

nlp = en_core_web_sm.load()
