When the architecture for a text classification challenge contains a setting for
`exclusive_classes`, it is important to use the correct value for the correct
pipeline component. The `textcat` component should always be used for
single-label use-cases where `exclusive_classes = true`, while the

teaser: 'Pipeline component for multi-label text classification'
api_base_class: /api/pipe
api_string_name: textcat_multilabel

---
The text categorizer predicts **categories over a whole document**. It
learns non-mutually exclusive labels, which means that zero or more labels
may be true per document.
## Config and implementation {#config}
The default config is defined by the pipeline component factory and describes
how the component should be configured. You can override its settings via the
`config` argument on [`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe) or in your
[`config.cfg` for training](/usage/training#config). See the
[model architectures](/api/architectures) documentation for details on the
architectures and their arguments and hyperparameters.
> #### Example

> ```python
> from spacy.pipeline.textcat_multilabel import DEFAULT_MULTI_TEXTCAT_MODEL
> config = {
> "threshold": 0.5,
> "model": DEFAULT_MULTI_TEXTCAT_MODEL,
> }
> nlp.add_pipe("textcat_multilabel", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Description |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `threshold` | Cutoff to consider a prediction "positive", relevant when printing accuracy results. ~~float~~ |
| `model` | A model instance that predicts scores for each category. Defaults to [TextCatEnsemble](/api/architectures#TextCatEnsemble). ~~Model[List[Doc], List[Floats2d]]~~ |
```python
%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/pipeline/textcat_multilabel.py
```

>

Create a new pipeline instance. In your application, you would normally use a
shortcut for this and instantiate the component using its string name and
[`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#create_pipe).
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `vocab` | The shared vocabulary. ~~Vocab~~ |
| `model` | The Thinc [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) powering the pipeline component. ~~Model[List[Doc], List[Floats2d]]~~ |
| `name` | String name of the component instance. Used to add entries to the `losses` during training. ~~str~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `threshold` | Cutoff to consider a prediction "positive", relevant when printing accuracy results. ~~float~~ |
## MultiLabel_TextCategorizer.\_\_call\_\_ {#call tag="method"}
Apply the pipe to one document. The document is modified in place, and returned.
This usually happens under the hood when the `nlp` object is called on a text
and all pipeline components are applied to the `Doc` in order. Both
[`__call__`](/api/multilabel_textcategorizer#call) and [`pipe`](/api/multilabel_textcategorizer#pipe)
delegate to the [`predict`](/api/multilabel_textcategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/multilabel_textcategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
> textcat = nlp.add_pipe("textcat_multilabel")
> # This usually happens under the hood
> processed = textcat(doc)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
## MultiLabel_TextCategorizer.pipe {#pipe tag="method"}
Apply the pipe to a stream of documents. This usually happens under the hood
when the `nlp` object is called on a text and all pipeline components are
applied to the `Doc` in order. Both [`__call__`](/api/multilabel_textcategorizer#call) and
[`pipe`](/api/multilabel_textcategorizer#pipe) delegate to the
[`predict`](/api/multilabel_textcategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/multilabel_textcategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> textcat = nlp.add_pipe("textcat_multilabel")
> for doc in textcat.pipe(docs, batch_size=50):
> pass
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `stream` | A stream of documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `batch_size` | The number of documents to buffer. Defaults to `128`. ~~int~~ |
| **YIELDS** | The processed documents in order. ~~Doc~~ |
## MultiLabel_TextCategorizer.initialize {#initialize tag="method" new="3"}
Initialize the component for training. `get_examples` should be a function that
returns an iterable of [`Example`](/api/example) objects. The data examples are
used to **initialize the model** of the component and can either be the full
training data or a representative sample. Initialization includes validating the
network,
[inferring missing shapes](https://thinc.ai/docs/usage-models#validation) and
setting up the label scheme based on the data. This method is typically called
by [`Language.initialize`](/api/language#initialize) and lets you customize
arguments it receives via the
[`[initialize.components]`](/api/data-formats#config-initialize) block in the
config.
<Infobox variant="warning" title="Changed in v3.0" id="begin_training">
This method was previously called `begin_training`.

| `labels` | The label information to add to the component, as provided by the [`label_data`](#label_data) property after initialization. To generate a reusable JSON file from your data, you should run the [`init labels`](/api/cli#init-labels) command.

the "catastrophic forgetting" problem. This feature is experimental.

## MultiLabel_TextCategorizer.add_label {#add_label tag="method"}
Add a new label to the pipe. Raises an error if the output dimension is already
set, or if the model has already been fully [initialized](#initialize). Note
that you don't have to call this method if you provide a **representative data
sample** to the [`initialize`](#initialize) method. In this case, all labels
found in the sample will be automatically added to the model, and the output
dimension will be [inferred](/usage/layers-architectures#thinc-shape-inference)

The text categorizer predicts **categories over a whole document**. It can learn
one or more labels, and the labels are mutually exclusive - there is exactly one
true label per document.
The text categorizer predicts **categories over a whole document**. and comes in
two flavours: `textcat` and `textcat_multilabel`. When you need to predict
exactly one true label per document, use the `textcat` which has mutually
exclusive labels. If you want to perform multi-label classification and predict
zero, one or more labels per document, use the `textcat_multilabel` component
instead.
Both components are documented on this page.
<Infobox title="Migration from v2" variant="warning">
In spaCy v2, the `textcat` component could also perform **multi-label
classification**, and even used this setting by default. Since v3.0, the
component `textcat_multilabel` should be used for multi-label classification
instead. The `textcat` component is now used for mutually exclusive classes
only.

If no labels are provided, the `get_examples` callback is used to extract the labels from the data, which may be a lot slower. ~~Optional[Iterable[str]]~~ |

- Various keyword arguments across functions and methods are now explicitly
declared as **keyword-only** arguments. Those arguments are documented
accordingly across the API reference using the <Tag>keyword-only</Tag> tag.
- The `textcat` pipeline component is now only applicable for classification of
mutually exclusives classes - i.e. one predicted class per input sentence or
document. To perform multi-label classification, use the new
`textcat_multilabel` component instead.
