# <span style={{ 'color': 'gray' }}>module</span>  pixeltable.functions.huggingface

Pixeltable UDFs
that wrap various models from the Hugging Face `transformers` package.

These UDFs will cause Pixeltable to invoke the relevant models locally. In order to use them, you must
first `pip install transformers` (or in some cases, `sentence-transformers`, as noted in the specific
UDFs).

## UDFs

Computes image classifications for the specified image using a Vision Transformer (ViT) model.
`model_id` should be a reference to a pretrained [ViT Model](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/model_doc/vit).

**Note:** Be sure the model is a ViT model that is trained for image classification (that is, a model designed for
use with the
[ViTForImageClassification](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/model_doc/vit#transformers.ViTForImageClassification)
class), such as `google/vit-base-patch16-224`. General feature-extraction models such as
`google/vit-base-patch16-224-in21k` will not produce the desired results.

**Requirements:**

* `pip install torch transformers`

**Parameters:**

* **`image`** (`pxt.Image`): The image to classify.
* **`model_id`** (`pxt.String`): The pretrained model to use for the classification.
* **`top_k`** (`pxt.Int`): The number of classes to return.

**Returns:**

* `pxt.Json`: A dictionary containing the output of the image classification model, in the following format:
  ```python  theme={null}
  {
      'scores': [0.325, 0.198, 0.105],  # list of probabilities of the top-k most likely classes
      'labels': [340, 353, 386],  # list of class IDs for the top-k most likely classes
      'label_text': ['zebra', 'gazelle', 'African elephant, Loxodonta africana'],
          # corresponding text names of the top-k most likely classes
  ```

**Examples:**

Add a computed column that applies the model `google/vit-base-patch16-224` to an existing Pixeltable column `image` of the table `tbl`, returning the 10 most likely classes for each image:

```python  theme={null}
tbl.add_computed_column(
    image_class=vit_for_image_classification(
        tbl.image, model_id='google/vit-base-patch16-224', top_k=10
    )
)
