State-of-the-art Machine Learning for JAX, PyTorch and TensorFlow

Transformers provides thousands of pretrained models to perform tasks on different modalities such as text, vision, and audio.

These models can be applied on:

• Text, for tasks like text classification, information extraction, question answering, summarization, translation, text generation, in over 100 languages.
• Images, for tasks like image classification, object detection, and segmentation.
• Audio, for tasks like speech recognition and audio classification.

Transformer models can also perform tasks on several modalities combined, such as table question answering, optical character recognition, information extraction from scanned documents, video classification, and visual question answering.

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. 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, PyTorch and TensorFlow with a seamless integration between them. It's straightforward to train your models with one before loading them for inference with the other.

Online demos

You can test most of our models directly on their pages from the model hub. We also offer private model hosting, versioning, & an inference API for public and private models.

Here are a few examples:

In Natural Language Processing:

• Masked word completion with BERT
• Name Entity Recognition with Electra
• Text generation with GPT-2
• Natural Language Inference with RoBERTa
• Summarization with BART
• Question answering with DistilBERT
• Translation with T5

In Computer Vision:

• Image classification with ViT
• Object Detection with DETR
• Image Segmentation with DETR

In Audio:

• Automatic Speech Recognition with Wav2Vec2
• Keyword Spotting with Wav2Vec2

Write With Transformer, built by the Hugging Face team, is the official demo of this repos text generation capabilities.

Quick tour

To immediately use a model on a given input (text, image, audio, ...), 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:

>>> from transformers import pipeline

# Allocate a pipeline for sentiment-analysis
>>> classifier = pipeline('sentiment-analysis')
>>> classifier('We are very happy to introduce pipeline to the transformers repository.')
[{'label': 'POSITIVE', 'score': 0.9996980428695679}]

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%.

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

>>> from transformers import pipeline

# Allocate a pipeline for question-answering
>>> question_answerer = pipeline('question-answering')
>>> question_answerer({
...     'question': 'What is the name of the repository ?',
...     'context': 'Pipeline has been included in the huggingface/transformers repository'
... })
{'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.

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:

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
>>> model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")

>>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello world!", return_tensors="pt")
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)

And here is the equivalent code for TensorFlow:

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, TFAutoModel

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
>>> model = TFAutoModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")

>>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello world!", return_tensors="tf")
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)

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.

The model itself is a regular Pytorch nn.Module or a TensorFlow tf.keras.Model (depending on your backend) which you can use normally. This tutorial 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?

1. Easy-to-use state-of-the-art models:

   • High performance on natural language understanding & generation, computer vision, and audio tasks.
   • Low barrier to entry for educators and practitioners.
   • Few user-facing abstractions with just three classes to learn.
   • A unified API for using all our pretrained models.

2. 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 20,000 pretrained models, some in more than 100 languages.

3. 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/JAX frameworks at will.
   • Seamlessly pick the right framework for training, evaluation and production.

4. Easily customize a model or an example to your needs:

   • We provide examples for each architecture to reproduce the results published by its original authors.
   • Model internals are exposed as consistently as possible.
   • Model files can be used independently of the library for quick experiments.

Why shouldn't I use transformers?

• 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.
• 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 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.

Installation

With pip

This repository is tested on Python 3.6+, Flax 0.3.2+, PyTorch 1.3.1+ and TensorFlow 2.3+.

You should install Transformers in a virtual environment. If you're unfamiliar with Python virtual environments, check out the user guide.

First, create a virtual environment with the version of Python you're going to use and activate it.

Then, you will need to install at least one of Flax, PyTorch or TensorFlow. Please refer to TensorFlow installation page, PyTorch installation page and/or Flax and Jax installation pages regarding the specific install command for your platform.

When one of those backends has been installed, Transformers can be installed using pip as follows:

pip install transformers

If you'd like to play with the examples or need the bleeding edge of the code and can't wait for a new release, you must install the library from source.

With conda

Since Transformers version v4.0.0, we now have a conda channel: huggingface.

Transformers can be installed using conda as follows:

conda install -c huggingface transformers

Follow the installation pages of Flax, PyTorch or TensorFlow to see how to install them with conda.

118. Want to contribute a new model? We have added a detailed guide and templates to guide you in the process of adding a new model. You can find them in the templates folder of the repository. Be sure to check the contributing guidelines and contact the maintainers or open an issue to collect feedbacks before starting your PR.

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.

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.
