## 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 import DEFAULT_TEXTCAT_MODEL
> config = {
> "labels": [],
> "model": DEFAULT_TEXTCAT_MODEL,
> }
> nlp.add_pipe("textcat", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Type | Description | Default |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `labels` | `Iterable[str]` | The labels to use. | `[]` |
| `model` | [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) | The model to use. | [TextCatEnsemble](/api/architectures#TextCatEnsemble) |
```python
https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/blob/develop/spacy/pipeline/textcat.py
```
## TextCategorizer.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> # Construction via add_pipe with default model
> textcat = nlp.add_pipe("textcat")
>
> # Construction via add_pipe with custom model
> config = {"model": {"@architectures": "my_textcat"}}
> parser = nlp.add_pipe("textcat", config=config)
>
> # Construction from class
> from spacy.pipeline import TextCategorizer
> textcat = TextCategorizer(nlp.vocab, model)
> ```
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 | Type | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `vocab` | `Vocab` | The shared vocabulary. |
| `model` | [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) | The Thinc [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) powering the pipeline component. |
| `name` | str | String name of the component instance. Used to add entries to the `losses` during training. |
| _keyword-only_ | | |
| `labels` | `Iterable[str]` | The labels to use. |

### 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

> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
> textcat = nlp.add_pipe("textcat")

## 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

[`predict`](/api/textcategorizer#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/textcategorizer#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> textcat = nlp.add_pipe("textcat")
