<Infobox title="Important note" variant="warning">
|
||
|
||
This component is available via the extension package
|
||
[`spacy-transformers`](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-transformers). It
|
||
exposes the component via entry points, so if you have the package installed,
|
||
using `factory = "transformer"` in your
|
||
[training config](/usage/training#config) or `nlp.add_pipe("transformer")` will
|
||
work out-of-the-box.
|
||
|
||
</Infobox>
|
||
|
||
This pipeline component lets you use transformer models in your pipeline. It
|
||
supports all models that are available via the
|
||
[HuggingFace `transformers`](https://huggingface.co/transformers) library.
|
||
Usually you will connect subsequent components to the shared transformer using
|
||
the [TransformerListener](/api/architectures#TransformerListener) layer. This
|
||
works similarly to spaCy's [Tok2Vec](/api/tok2vec) component and
|
||
[Tok2VecListener](/api/architectures/#Tok2VecListener) sublayer.
|
||
|
||
The component assigns the output of the transformer to the `Doc`'s extension
|
||
attributes. We also calculate an alignment between the word-piece tokens and the
|
||
spaCy tokenization, so that we can use the last hidden states to set the
|
||
`Doc.tensor` attribute. When multiple word-piece tokens align to the same spaCy
|
||
token, the spaCy token receives the sum of their values. To access the values,
|
||
you can use the custom [`Doc._.trf_data`](#custom-attributes) attribute. The
|
||
package also adds the function registries [`@span_getters`](#span_getters) and
|
||
[`@annotation_setters`](#annotation_setters) with several built-in registered
|
||
functions. For more details, see the
|
||
[usage documentation](/usage/embeddings-transformers).
|
||
|
||
## 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#transformers) documentation for details
|
||
on the transformer architectures and their arguments and hyperparameters.
|
||

||
| Setting | Description |
|
||
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `max_batch_items` | Maximum size of a padded batch. Defaults to `4096`. ~~int~~ |
|
||
| `set_extra_annotations` | Function that takes a batch of `Doc` objects and transformer outputs to set additional annotations on the `Doc`. The `Doc._.trf_data` attribute is set prior to calling the callback. Defaults to `null_annotation_setter` (no additional annotations). ~~Callable[[List[Doc], FullTransformerBatch], None]~~ |
|
||
| `model` | The Thinc [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) wrapping the transformer. Defaults to [TransformerModel](/api/architectures#TransformerModel). ~~Model[List[Doc], FullTransformerBatch]~~ |
|
||
|
||
```python
|

## Transformer.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
|
||
|
||
> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||
> # Construction via add_pipe with default model
|
||
> trf = nlp.add_pipe("transformer")
|
||
>
|
||
> # Construction via add_pipe with custom config
|
||
> config = {
|
||
> "model": {
|
||
> "@architectures": "spacy-transformers.TransformerModel.v1",
|
||
> "name": "bert-base-uncased",
|
||
> "tokenizer_config": {"use_fast": True}
|
||
> }
|
||
> }
|
||
> trf = nlp.add_pipe("transformer", config=config)
|
||
>
|
||
> # Construction from class
|
||
> from spacy_transformers import Transformer
|
||
> trf = Transformer(nlp.vocab, model)
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
Construct a `Transformer` component. One or more subsequent spaCy components can
|
||
use the transformer outputs as features in its model, with gradients
|
||
backpropagated to the single shared weights. The activations from the
|
||
transformer are saved in the [`Doc._.trf_data`](#custom-attributes) extension
|
||
attribute. You can also provide a callback to set additional annotations. 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) wrapping the transformer. Usually you will want to use the [TransformerModel](/api/architectures#TransformerModel) layer for this. ~~Model[List[Doc], FullTransformerBatch]~~ |
|
||
| `set_extra_annotations` | Function that takes a batch of `Doc` objects and transformer outputs and stores the annotations on the `Doc`. The `Doc._.trf_data` attribute is set prior to calling the callback. By default, no additional annotations are set. ~~Callable[[List[Doc], FullTransformerBatch], None]~~ |
|
||
| _keyword-only_ | |
|
||
| `name` | String name of the component instance. Used to add entries to the `losses` during training. ~~str~~ |
|
||
| `max_batch_items` | Maximum size of a padded batch. Defaults to `128*32`. ~~int~~ |
|
||
|
||
## Transformer.\_\_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/transformer#call) and [`pipe`](/api/transformer#pipe) delegate
|
||
to the [`predict`](/api/transformer#predict) and
|
||
[`set_annotations`](/api/transformer#set_annotations) methods.
|
||
|
||
> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
|
||
> trf = nlp.add_pipe("transformer")
|
||
> # This usually happens under the hood
|
||
> processed = transformer(doc)
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
|
||
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
|
||
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
|
||
|
||
## Transformer.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/transformer#call) and
|
||
[`pipe`](/api/transformer#pipe) delegate to the
|
||
[`predict`](/api/transformer#predict) and
|
||
[`set_annotations`](/api/transformer#set_annotations) methods.
|
||
|
||
> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||
> trf = nlp.add_pipe("transformer")
|
||
> for doc in trf.pipe(docs, batch_size=50):
|
||
> pass
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |

|
||
| `batch_size` | The number of documents to buffer. Defaults to `128`. ~~int~~ |
|
||
| **YIELDS** | The processed documents in order. ~~Doc~~ |
|
||
|
||
## Transformer.initialize {#initialize tag="method"}
|
||
|
||
Initialize the component for training and return an
|
||
[`Optimizer`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-optimizers). `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).
|
||
|
||
> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||
> trf = nlp.add_pipe("transformer")
|
||
> trf.initialize(lambda: iter([]), nlp=nlp)
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |

| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `get_examples` | Function that returns gold-standard annotations in the form of [`Example`](/api/example) objects. ~~Callable[[], Iterable[Example]]~~ |
|
||
| _keyword-only_ | |
|
||
| `nlp` | The current `nlp` object. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Language]~~ |
|
||
|
||
## Transformer.predict {#predict tag="method"}
|
||
|
||
Apply the component's model to a batch of [`Doc`](/api/doc) objects without
|
||
modifying them.
|
||
|
||
> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||
> trf = nlp.add_pipe("transformer")
|
||
> scores = trf.predict([doc1, doc2])
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `docs` | The documents to predict. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
|
||
| **RETURNS** | The model's prediction for each document. |
|
||
|
||
## Transformer.set_annotations {#set_annotations tag="method"}
|
||
|
||
Assign the extracted features to the `Doc` objects. By default, the
|
||
[`TransformerData`](/api/transformer#transformerdata) object is written to the
|
||
[`Doc._.trf_data`](#custom-attributes) attribute. Your `set_extra_annotations`
|
||
callback is then called, if provided.
|
||
|
||
> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||
> trf = nlp.add_pipe("transformer")
|
||
> scores = trf.predict(docs)
|
||
> trf.set_annotations(docs, scores)
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `docs` | The documents to modify. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
|
||
| `scores` | The scores to set, produced by `Transformer.predict`. |
|
||
|
||
## Transformer.update {#update tag="method"}
|
||
|
||
Prepare for an update to the transformer. Like the [`Tok2Vec`](/api/tok2vec)
|
||
component, the `Transformer` component is unusual in that it does not receive
|
||
"gold standard" annotations to calculate a weight update. The optimal output of
|
||
the transformer data is unknown – it's a hidden layer inside the network that is
|
||
updated by backpropagating from output layers.
|
||
|
||
The `Transformer` component therefore does **not** perform a weight update
|
||
during its own `update` method. Instead, it runs its transformer model and
|
||
communicates the output and the backpropagation callback to any **downstream
|
||
components** that have been connected to it via the
|
||
[TransformerListener](/api/architectures#TransformerListener) sublayer. If there
|
||
are multiple listeners, the last layer will actually backprop to the transformer
|
||
and call the optimizer, while the others simply increment the gradients.
|
||
|
||
> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||
> trf = nlp.add_pipe("transformer")
|
||
> optimizer = nlp.initialize()
|
||
> losses = trf.update(examples, sgd=optimizer)
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `examples` | A batch of [`Example`](/api/example) objects. Only the [`Example.predicted`](/api/example#predicted) `Doc` object is used, the reference `Doc` is ignored. ~~Iterable[Example]~~ |
|
||
| _keyword-only_ | |
|
||
| `drop` | The dropout rate. ~~float~~ |
|
||
| `sgd` | An optimizer. Will be created via [`create_optimizer`](#create_optimizer) if not set. ~~Optional[Optimizer]~~ |
|
||
| `losses` | Optional record of the loss during training. Updated using the component name as the key. ~~Optional[Dict[str, float]]~~ |
|
||
| **RETURNS** | The updated `losses` dictionary. ~~Dict[str, float]~~ |
|
||
|
||
## Transformer.create_optimizer {#create_optimizer tag="method"}
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| ----------- | ---------------------------- |
|
||
| **RETURNS** | The optimizer. ~~Optimizer~~ |
|
||
|
||
## Transformer.use_params {#use_params tag="method, contextmanager"}
|
||
|
||
Modify the pipe's model to use the given parameter values. At the end of the
|
||
context, the original parameters are restored.
|
||
|
||
> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||

During serialization, spaCy will export several data fields used to restore
|
||
different aspects of the object. If needed, you can exclude them from
|
||
serialization by passing in the string names via the `exclude` argument.
|

|
||
|
||
## TransformerData {#transformerdata tag="dataclass"}
|
||
|
||
Transformer tokens and outputs for one `Doc` object. The transformer models
|
||
return tensors that refer to a whole padded batch of documents. These tensors
|
||
are wrapped into the
|
||
[FullTransformerBatch](/api/transformer#fulltransformerbatch) object. The
|
||
`FullTransformerBatch` then splits out the per-document data, which is handled
|
||
by this class. Instances of this class are typically assigned to the
|
||
[`Doc._.trf_data`](/api/transformer#custom-attributes) extension attribute.
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `tokens` | A slice of the tokens data produced by the tokenizer. This may have several fields, including the token IDs, the texts and the attention mask. See the [`transformers.BatchEncoding`](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main_classes/tokenizer.html#transformers.BatchEncoding) object for details. ~~dict~~ |
|
||
| `tensors` | The activations for the `Doc` from the transformer. Usually the last tensor that is 3-dimensional will be the most important, as that will provide the final hidden state. Generally activations that are 2-dimensional will be attention weights. Details of this variable will differ depending on the underlying transformer model. ~~List[FloatsXd]~~ |
|
||
| `align` | Alignment from the `Doc`'s tokenization to the wordpieces. This is a ragged array, where `align.lengths[i]` indicates the number of wordpiece tokens that token `i` aligns against. The actual indices are provided at `align[i].dataXd`. ~~Ragged~~ |
|
||
| `width` | The width of the last hidden layer. ~~int~~ |
|

|
||
## FullTransformerBatch {#fulltransformerbatch tag="dataclass"}
|
||
|
||
Holds a batch of input and output objects for a transformer model. The data can
|

| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `spans` | The batch of input spans. The outer list refers to the Doc objects in the batch, and the inner list are the spans for that `Doc`. Note that spans are allowed to overlap or exclude tokens, but each `Span` can only refer to one `Doc` (by definition). This means that within a `Doc`, the regions of the output tensors that correspond to each `Span` may overlap or have gaps, but for each `Doc`, there is a non-overlapping contiguous slice of the outputs. ~~List[List[Span]]~~ |
|
||
| `tokens` | The output of the tokenizer. ~~transformers.BatchEncoding~~ |
|
||
| `tensors` | The output of the transformer model. ~~List[torch.Tensor]~~ |
|
||
| `align` | Alignment from the spaCy tokenization to the wordpieces. This is a ragged array, where `align.lengths[i]` indicates the number of wordpiece tokens that token `i` aligns against. The actual indices are provided at `align[i].dataXd`. ~~Ragged~~ |
|
||
| `doc_data` | The outputs, split per `Doc` object. ~~List[TransformerData]~~ |
|
||
|

### FullTransformerBatch.unsplit_by_doc {#fulltransformerbatch-unsplit_by_doc tag="method"}
|
||
|
||
Return a new `FullTransformerBatch` from a split batch of activations, using the
|
||
current object's spans, tokens and alignment. This is used during the backward
|
||
pass, in order to construct the gradients to pass back into the transformer
|
||
model.
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `arrays` | The split batch of activations. ~~List[List[Floats3d]]~~ |

|
||
### FullTransformerBatch.split_by_doc {#fulltransformerbatch-split_by_doc tag="method"}
|
||
|
||
Split a `TransformerData` object that represents a batch into a list with one
|
||
`TransformerData` per `Doc`.
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------ |
|
||
| **RETURNS** | The split batch. ~~List[TransformerData]~~ |

Span getters are functions that take a batch of [`Doc`](/api/doc) objects and
|
||
return a lists of [`Span`](/api/span) objects for each doc to be processed by
|
||
the transformer. This is used to manage long documents by cutting them into
|
||
smaller sequences before running the transformer. The spans are allowed to
|
||
overlap, and you can also omit sections of the `Doc` if they are not relevant.
|
||
|
||
Span getters can be referenced in the `[components.transformer.model.get_spans]`
|
||
block of the config to customize the sequences processed by the transformer. You
|
||
can also register
|
||
[custom span getters](/usage/embeddings-transformers#transformers-training-custom-settings)
|
||
using the `@spacy.registry.span_getters` decorator.

> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||
> @spacy.registry.span_getters("custom_sent_spans")
|
||
> def configure_get_sent_spans() -> Callable:
|
||
> def get_sent_spans(docs: Iterable[Doc]) -> List[List[Span]]:
|
||
> return [list(doc.sents) for doc in docs]
|
||
>
|
||
> return get_sent_spans
|
||
> ```
|

|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `docs` | A batch of `Doc` objects. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
|
||
| **RETURNS** | The spans to process by the transformer. ~~List[List[Span]]~~ |
|
||
|
||
### doc_spans.v1 {#doc_spans tag="registered function"}
|
||
|
||
> #### Example config
|
||
>
|
||
> ```ini
|
||
> [transformer.model.get_spans]
|
||
> @span_getters = "spacy-transformers.doc_spans.v1"
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
Create a span getter that uses the whole document as its spans. This is the best
|
||
approach if your [`Doc`](/api/doc) objects already refer to relatively short
|
||
texts.
|
||
|
||
### sent_spans.v1 {#sent_spans tag="registered function"}
|
||
|
||
> #### Example config
|
||
>
|
||
> ```ini
|
||
> [transformer.model.get_spans]
|
||
> @span_getters = "spacy-transformers.sent_spans.v1"
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
Create a span getter that uses sentence boundary markers to extract the spans.
|
||
This requires sentence boundaries to be set (e.g. by the
|
||
[`Sentencizer`](/api/sentencizer)), and may result in somewhat uneven batches,
|
||
depending on the sentence lengths. However, it does provide the transformer with
|
||
more meaningful windows to attend over.
|
||
|
||
### strided_spans.v1 {#strided_spans tag="registered function"}
|
||
|
||
> #### Example config
|
||
>
|
||
> ```ini
|
||
> [transformer.model.get_spans]
|
||
> @span_getters = "spacy-transformers.strided_spans.v1"
|
||
> window = 128
|
||
> stride = 96
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
Create a span getter for strided spans. If you set the `window` and `stride` to
|
||
the same value, the spans will cover each token once. Setting `stride` lower
|
||
than `window` will allow for an overlap, so that some tokens are counted twice.
|
||
This can be desirable, because it allows all tokens to have both a left and
|
||
right context.
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| -------- | ------------------------ |
|
||
| `window` | The window size. ~~int~~ |
|
||
| `stride` | The stride size. ~~int~~ |

## Annotation setters {#annotation_setters tag="registered functions" source="github.com/explosion/spacy-transformers/blob/master/spacy_transformers/annotation_setters.py"}
|
||
|
||
Annotation setters are functions that take a batch of `Doc` objects and a
|
||
[`FullTransformerBatch`](/api/transformer#fulltransformerbatch) and can set
|
||
additional annotations on the `Doc`, e.g. to set custom or built-in attributes.
|
||
You can register custom annotation setters using the
|
||
`@registry.annotation_setters` decorator.
|
||
|
||
> #### Example
|
||
>
|
||
> ```python
|
||
> @registry.annotation_setters("spacy-transformers.null_annotation_setter.v1")
|
||
> def configure_null_annotation_setter() -> Callable:
|
||
> def setter(docs: List[Doc], trf_data: FullTransformerBatch) -> None:
|
||
> pass
|
||
>
|
||
> return setter
|
||
> ```
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `docs` | A batch of `Doc` objects. ~~List[Doc]~~ |
|
||
| `trf_data` | The transformers data for the batch. ~~FullTransformerBatch~~ |
|
||
|
||
The following built-in functions are available:
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `spacy-transformers.null_annotation_setter.v1` | Don't set any additional annotations. |
|
||
|
||
## Custom attributes {#custom-attributes}
|
||
|
||
The component sets the following
|
||
[custom extension attributes](/usage/processing-pipeline#custom-components-attributes):
|
||
|
||
| Name | Description |
|
||
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||
| `Doc._.trf_data` | Transformer tokens and outputs for the `Doc` object. ~~TransformerData~~ |
