torchtext 0.13.1

Text utilities and datasets for PyTorch

torchtext

This repository consists of:

• torchtext.datasets: The raw text iterators for common NLP datasets

• torchtext.data: Some basic NLP building blocks

• torchtext.transforms: Basic text-processing transformations

• torchtext.models: Pre-trained models

• torchtext.vocab: Vocab and Vectors related classes and factory functions

• examples: Example NLP workflows with PyTorch and torchtext library.

Installation

We recommend Anaconda as a Python package management system. Please refer to pytorch.org for the details of PyTorch installation. The following are the corresponding torchtext versions and supported Python versions.

Version Compatibility

PyTorch version	torchtext version	Supported Python version
nightly build	main	>=3.7, <=3.9
1.11.0	0.12.0	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.10.0	0.11.0	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.9.1	0.10.1	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.9	0.10	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.8.2 (LTS)	0.9.2 (LTS)	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.8.1	0.9.1	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.8	0.9	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.7.1	0.8.1	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.7	0.8	>=3.6, <=3.8
1.6	0.7	>=3.6, <=3.8
1.5	0.6	>=3.5, <=3.8
1.4	0.5	2.7, >=3.5, <=3.8
0.4 and below	0.2.3	2.7, >=3.5, <=3.8

Using conda:

conda install -c pytorch torchtext

Using pip:

pip install torchtext

Note LTS versions are distributed through a different channel than the other versioned releases. Please refer to https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/ for details.

Optional requirements

If you want to use English tokenizer from SpaCy, you need to install SpaCy and download its English model:

pip install spacy
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

Alternatively, you might want to use the Moses tokenizer port in SacreMoses (split from NLTK). You have to install SacreMoses:

pip install sacremoses

For torchtext 0.5 and below, sentencepiece:

conda install -c powerai sentencepiece

Building from source

To build torchtext from source, you need git, CMake and C++11 compiler such as g++.:

git clone https://github.com/pytorch/text torchtext
cd torchtext
git submodule update --init --recursive

# Linux
python setup.py clean install

# OSX
CC=clang CXX=clang++ python setup.py clean install

# or ``python setup.py develop`` if you are making modifications.

Note

When building from source, make sure that you have the same C++ compiler as the one used to build PyTorch. A simple way is to build PyTorch from source and use the same environment to build torchtext. If you are using the nightly build of PyTorch, checkout the environment it was built with conda (here) and pip (here).
