⚡️ Speed up function ambiguous_shift_open_unary_close by 207%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 207% (2.07x) speedup for ambiguous_shift_open_unary_close in stanza/models/constituency/in_order_oracle.py

⏱️ Runtime : 27.5 microseconds → 8.94 microseconds (best of 63 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 207% speedup through two key optimizations:

1. Type checking optimization: Replaced isinstance(obj, Class) with type(obj) is not Class. The isinstance() function involves method resolution order traversal and additional overhead, while type() with direct identity comparison (is) is much faster. This optimization is particularly effective here since the line profiler shows that type checking dominates execution time (81.7% and 65.7% of runtime respectively).

2. List construction optimization: Eliminated expensive list slicing and concatenation operations (gold_sequence[:gold_index] + [pred_transition, CloseConstituent()] + gold_sequence[gold_index:]) in favor of pre-allocating a result list and using slice assignment. This avoids creating multiple temporary lists and reduces memory allocations.

The line profiler results confirm the impact: the original code spends most time on the isinstance checks (63,117 ns for the first check), while the optimized version reduces this to 16,710 ns. Since most test cases return early due to type check failures (18 out of 19 calls return None), the type checking optimization provides the primary performance benefit.

These optimizations are most effective for workloads with frequent type checking where early returns are common, as evidenced by the test results showing that type mismatches dominate the execution patterns.
