HuggingFace is a set of libraries providing high level abstraction on top of libraries like Pytorch. Different from Pytorch, Huggingface focuses on Transformer model rather than general purposed machine learning jobs. Same as Transformer, Huggingface is not limited to language tasks, but can also extend to image, audio and even multi-modal tasks.
Pipeline
The most basic and high level object in the library. As its name, it connects a model with its necessary preprocessing and postprocessing steps, and wrap all of them in a single interface.
from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("sentiment-analysis")
classifier("This is definitely positive.")pipeline picks a particular pretrained model for the task sentiment-analysis provided, and necessary steps associated with that, if nothing is specified explicitly.
