title: TextCategorizer
tag: class
source: spacy/pipeline/pipes.pyx
new: 2
---
This class is a subclass of `Pipe` and follows the same API. The pipeline
component is available in the [processing pipeline](/usage/processing-pipelines)
via the ID `"textcat"`.
## TextCategorizer.Model {#model tag="classmethod"}
Initialize a model for the pipe. The model should implement the
`thinc.neural.Model` API. Wrappers are under development for most major machine
learning libraries.
| Name | Type | Description |
| ----------- | ------ | ------------------------------------- |
| `**kwargs` | - | Parameters for initializing the model |
| **RETURNS** | object | The initialized model. |
## TextCategorizer.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
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.create_pipe`](/api/language#create_pipe).
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> # Construction via create_pipe
> textcat = nlp.create_pipe("textcat")
> textcat = nlp.create_pipe("textcat", config={"exclusive_classes": True})
>
> # Construction from class
> from spacy.pipeline import TextCategorizer
> textcat = TextCategorizer(nlp.vocab)
> textcat.from_disk("/path/to/model")
> ```
| Name | Type | Description |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `vocab` | `Vocab` | The shared vocabulary. |
| `model` | `thinc.neural.Model` / `True` | The model powering the pipeline component. If no model is supplied, the model is created when you call `begin_training`, `from_disk` or `from_bytes`. |
| `exclusive_classes` | bool | Make categories mutually exclusive. Defaults to `False`. |
| `architecture` | unicode | Model architecture to use, see [architectures](#architectures) for details. Defaults to `"ensemble"`. |
| **RETURNS** | `TextCategorizer` | The newly constructed object. |
### Architectures {#architectures new="2.1"}
Text classification models can be used to solve a wide variety of problems.
Differences in text length, number of labels, difficulty, and runtime
performance constraints mean that no single algorithm performs well on all types
of problems. To handle a wider variety of problems, the `TextCategorizer` object
allows configuration of its model architecture, using the `architecture` keyword
argument.
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `"ensemble"` | **Default:** Stacked ensemble of a bag-of-words model and a neural network model. The neural network uses a CNN with mean pooling and attention. The "ngram_size" and "attr" arguments can be used to configure the feature extraction for the bag-of-words model. |
| `"simple_cnn"` | A neural network model where token vectors are calculated using a CNN. The vectors are mean pooled and used as features in a feed-forward network. This architecture is usually less accurate than the ensemble, but runs faster. |
| `"bow"` | An ngram "bag-of-words" model. This architecture should run much faster than the others, but may not be as accurate, especially if texts are short. The features extracted can be controlled using the keyword arguments `ngram_size` and `attr`. For instance, `ngram_size=3` and `attr="lower"` would give lower-cased unigram, trigram and bigram features. 2, 3 or 4 are usually good choices of ngram size. |
## 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/textcategorizer#call) and [`pipe`](/api/textcategorizer#pipe)
delegate to the [`predict`](/api/textcategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/textcategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> textcat = TextCategorizer(nlp.vocab)
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
> # This usually happens under the hood
> processed = textcat(doc)
> ```
| Name | Type | Description |
| ----------- | ----- | ------------------------ |
| `doc` | `Doc` | The document to process. |
| **RETURNS** | `Doc` | The processed document. |
## 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/textcategorizer#call) and
[`pipe`](/api/textcategorizer#pipe) delegate to the
[`predict`](/api/textcategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/textcategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> textcat = TextCategorizer(nlp.vocab)
> for doc in textcat.pipe(docs, batch_size=50):
> pass
> ```
| Name | Type | Description |
| ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |

## TextCategorizer.predict {#predict tag="method"}
Apply the pipeline's model to a batch of docs, without modifying them.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> textcat = TextCategorizer(nlp.vocab)
> scores, tensors = textcat.predict([doc1, doc2])
> ```
| Name | Type | Description |

| `docs` | iterable | The documents to predict. |
| **RETURNS** | tuple | A `(scores, tensors)` tuple where `scores` is the model's prediction for each document and `tensors` is the token representations used to predict the scores. Each tensor is an array with one row for each token in the document. |
## TextCategorizer.set_annotations {#set_annotations tag="method"}
Modify a batch of documents, using pre-computed scores.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> textcat = TextCategorizer(nlp.vocab)
> scores, tensors = textcat.predict([doc1, doc2])
> textcat.set_annotations([doc1, doc2], scores, tensors)
> ```
| Name | Type | Description |

| `docs` | iterable | The documents to modify. |
| `scores` | - | The scores to set, produced by `TextCategorizer.predict`. |
| `tensors` | iterable | The token representations used to predict the scores. |
## TextCategorizer.update {#update tag="method"}
Learn from a batch of documents and gold-standard information, updating the
pipe's model. Delegates to [`predict`](/api/textcategorizer#predict) and
[`get_loss`](/api/textcategorizer#get_loss).
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> textcat = TextCategorizer(nlp.vocab)
