🤗 Transformers provides APIs to quickly download and use those pretrained models on a given text, fine-tune them on your own datasets and then share them with the community on our [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models). At the same time, each python module defining an architecture is fully standalone and can be modified to enable quick research experiments.

🤗 Transformers is backed by the three most popular deep learning libraries — [Jax](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/) and [TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/) — with a seamless integration between them. It's straightforward to train your models with one before loading them for inference with the other.

## Quick tour

74
To immediately use a model on a given text, we provide the `pipeline` API. Pipelines group together a pretrained model with the preprocessing that was used during that model's training. Here is how to quickly use a pipeline to classify positive versus negative texts:
VictorSanh's avatar
VictorSanh committed
75

Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
76
77
```python
>>> from transformers import pipeline
78

Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
79
80
# Allocate a pipeline for sentiment-analysis
>>> classifier = pipeline('sentiment-analysis')
81
82
>>> classifier('We are very happy to introduce pipeline to the transformers repository.')
[{'label': 'POSITIVE', 'score': 0.9996980428695679}]
Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
83
```
84

85
The second line of code downloads and caches the pretrained model used by the pipeline, while the third evaluates it on the given text. Here the answer is "positive" with a confidence of 99.97%.
86

87
Many NLP tasks have a pre-trained `pipeline` ready to go. For example, we can easily extract question answers given context:

# Allocate a pipeline for question-answering
>>> question_answerer = pipeline('question-answering')

...     'question': 'What is the name of the repository ?',
96
...     'context': 'Pipeline has been included in the huggingface/transformers repository'

97
... })
98
{'score': 0.30970096588134766, 'start': 34, 'end': 58, 'answer': 'huggingface/transformers'}

In addition to the answer, the pretrained model used here returned its confidence score, along with the start position and end position of the answer in the tokenized sentence. You can learn more about the tasks supported by the `pipeline` API in [this tutorial](https://huggingface.co/transformers/task_summary.html).
thomwolf's avatar

103

104
To download and use any of the pretrained models on your given task, all it takes is three lines of code. Here is the PyTorch version:
Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
105
106
```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
107

Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
108
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
Manuel Romero's avatar
Manuel Romero committed
109
>>> model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
110

Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
111
112
>>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello world!", return_tensors="pt")
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
113
```
114
And here is the equivalent code for TensorFlow:
Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
115
116
```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, TFAutoModel
VictorSanh's avatar
VictorSanh committed
117

Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
118
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
Manuel Romero's avatar
Manuel Romero committed
119
>>> model = TFAutoModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
120

Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
121
122
>>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello world!", return_tensors="tf")
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)
123
124
```

125
The tokenizer is responsible for all the preprocessing the pretrained model expects, and can be called directly on a single string (as in the above examples) or a list. It will output a dictionary that you can use in downstream code or simply directly pass to your model using the ** argument unpacking operator.
126

127
The model itself is a regular [Pytorch `nn.Module`](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) or a [TensorFlow `tf.keras.Model`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Model) (depending on your backend) which you can use normally. [This tutorial](https://huggingface.co/transformers/training.html) explains how to integrate such a model into a classic PyTorch or TensorFlow training loop, or how to use our `Trainer` API to quickly fine-tune on a new dataset.

## Why should I use transformers?
130

Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
131
132
133
1. Easy-to-use state-of-the-art models:
    - High performance on NLU and NLG tasks.
    - Low barrier to entry for educators and practitioners.
Akshay Gupta's avatar
Akshay Gupta committed
134
    - Few user-facing abstractions with just three classes to learn.
Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
135
    - A unified API for using all our pretrained models.
thomwolf's avatar

136

Sylvain Gugger's avatar

137
138
139
140
1. Lower compute costs, smaller carbon footprint:
    - Researchers can share trained models instead of always retraining.
    - Practitioners can reduce compute time and production costs.
    - Dozens of architectures with over 2,000 pretrained models, some in more than 100 languages.
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
141

Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
142
143
144
1. Choose the right framework for every part of a model's lifetime:
    - Train state-of-the-art models in 3 lines of code.
    - Move a single model between TF2.0/PyTorch frameworks at will.
145
    - Seamlessly pick the right framework for training, evaluation and production.
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
146

Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
147
1. Easily customize a model or an example to your needs:
148
149
    - We provide examples for each architecture to reproduce the results published by its original authors.
    - Model internals are exposed as consistently as possible.
150
    - Model files can be used independently of the library for quick experiments.
151

Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
152
## Why shouldn't I use transformers?
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
153

154
- This library is not a modular toolbox of building blocks for neural nets. The code in the model files is not refactored with additional abstractions on purpose, so that researchers can quickly iterate on each of the models without diving into additional abstractions/files.
Sylvain Gugger's avatar
Sylvain Gugger committed
155
156
- The training API is not intended to work on any model but is optimized to work with the models provided by the library. For generic machine learning loops, you should use another library.
- While we strive to present as many use cases as possible, the scripts in our [examples folder](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/examples) are just that: examples. It is expected that they won't work out-of-the box on your specific problem and that you will be required to change a few lines of code to adapt them to your needs.

To check if each model has an implementation in Flax, PyTorch or TensorFlow, or has an associated tokenizer backed by the 🤗 Tokenizers library, refer to [this table](https://huggingface.co/transformers/index.html#supported-frameworks).
263

264
These implementations have been tested on several datasets (see the example scripts) and should match the performance of the original implementations. You can find more details on performance in the Examples section of the [documentation](https://huggingface.co/transformers/examples.html).
