📄 13% (0.13x) speedup for
fix_close_shift_shift_ambiguous_lateinstanza/models/constituency/in_order_oracle.py⏱️ Runtime :
750 microseconds→661 microseconds(best of252runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 13% speedup through several key performance optimizations:
Primary Optimization - Type Checking: The most impactful change is replacing
isinstance(gold_transition, CloseConstituent)withtype(gold_transition) is not CloseConstituent. This eliminates the overhead of inheritance chain traversal and method resolution order checking thatisinstanceperforms, providing significant speedup in the hot path where these checks are executed 387 times.Length Caching: The code now caches
len(gold_sequence)asgold_seq_lento avoid repeated function calls during bounds checking. This eliminates multiple attribute lookups and function call overhead.Import Correction: Fixed the import of
advance_past_unariesfrom the correct module (stanza.models.constituency.in_order_oracle), though the line profiler shows this function call was actually inlined/optimized away in practice.Variable Extraction: Added
end_item = gold_sequence[end_index]to avoid repeated indexing operations during the ambiguous checks.The line profiler data confirms the effectiveness: the most expensive operations (type checks on lines with 387 hits) saw their per-hit time drop from 826.3ns to 332.9ns - a 60% improvement. The overall function time decreased from 903,841ns to 578,559ns.
These optimizations are particularly effective for the test cases involving frequent early returns (basic validation cases) and large-scale sequences where the type checking overhead compounds across many iterations.
