Pipelines
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The pipelines are a great and easy way to use models for inference. These pipelines are objects that abstract most of
the complex code from the library, offering a simple API dedicated to several tasks, including Named Entity
Recognition, Masked Language Modeling, Sentiment Analysis, Feature Extraction and Question Answering. See the
:doc:`task summary <../task_summary>` for examples of use.

There are two categories of pipeline abstractions to be aware about:

- The :func:`~transformers.pipeline` which is the most powerful object encapsulating all other pipelines.
- The other task-specific pipelines:

    - :class:`~transformers.AudioClassificationPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.AutomaticSpeechRecognitionPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.ConversationalPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.FeatureExtractionPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.FillMaskPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.ImageClassificationPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.ImageSegmentationPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.ObjectDetectionPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.QuestionAnsweringPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.SummarizationPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.TableQuestionAnsweringPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.TextClassificationPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.TextGenerationPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.Text2TextGenerationPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.TokenClassificationPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.TranslationPipeline`
    - :class:`~transformers.ZeroShotClassificationPipeline`

The pipeline abstraction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The `pipeline` abstraction is a wrapper around all the other available pipelines. It is instantiated as any other
pipeline but requires an additional argument which is the `task`.

Simple call on one item:

.. code-block::

    >>> pipe = pipeline("text-classification")
    >>> pipe("This restaurant is awesome")
    [{'label': 'POSITIVE', 'score': 0.9998743534088135}]

To call a pipeline on many items, you can either call with a `list`.

.. code-block::

    >>> pipe = pipeline("text-classification")
    >>> pipe(["This restaurant is awesome", "This restaurant is aweful"])
    [{'label': 'POSITIVE', 'score': 0.9998743534088135},
     {'label': 'NEGATIVE', 'score': 0.9996669292449951}]


To iterate of full datasets it is recommended to use a :obj:`dataset` directly. This means you don't need to allocate
the whole dataset at once, nor do you need to do batching yourself. This should work just as fast as custom loops on
GPU. If it doesn't don't hesitate to create an issue.

.. code-block::

    pipe = pipeline("automatic-speech-recognition", model="facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h", device=0)
    dataset = datasets.load_dataset("superb", name="asr", split="test")

    # KeyDataset (only `pt`) will simply return the item in the dict returned by the dataset item
    # as we're not interested in the `target` part of the dataset.
    for out in tqdm.tqdm(pipe(KeyDataset(dataset, "file"))):
        print(out)
        # {"text": "NUMBER TEN FRESH NELLY IS WAITING ON YOU GOOD NIGHT HUSBAND"}
        # {"text": ....}
        # ....
