# CANINE

[CANINE](https://huggingface.co/papers/2103.06874) is a tokenization-free Transformer. It skips the usual step of splitting text into subwords or wordpieces and processes text character by character. That means it works directly with raw Unicode, making it especially useful for languages with complex or inconsistent tokenization rules and even noisy inputs like typos. Since working with characters means handling longer sequences, CANINE uses a smart trick. The model compresses the input early on (called downsampling) so the transformer doesn't have to process every character individually. This keeps things fast and efficient.

You can find all the original CANINE checkpoints under the [Google](https://huggingface.co/google?search_models=canine) organization.

> [!TIP]
> Click on the CANINE models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply CANINE to different language tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to generate embeddings with [Pipeline](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.Pipeline), [AutoModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel), and from the command line.

```python
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="feature-extraction",
    model="google/canine-c",
    device=0,
)

pipeline("Plant create energy through a process known as photosynthesis.")
```

```python
import torch

from transformers import AutoModel

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("google/canine-c", device_map="auto")

text = "Plant create energy through a process known as photosynthesis."
input_ids = torch.tensor([[ord(char) for char in text]])

outputs = model(input_ids)
pooled_output = outputs.pooler_output
sequence_output = outputs.last_hidden_state
```

## Notes

- CANINE skips tokenization entirely — it works directly on raw characters, not subwords. You can use it with or without a tokenizer. For batched inference and training, it is recommended to use the tokenizer to pad and truncate all sequences to the same length.

    ```py
    from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer("google/canine-c")
    inputs = ["Life is like a box of chocolates.", "You never know what you gonna get."]
    encoding = tokenizer(inputs, padding="longest", truncation=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
    ```

- CANINE is primarily designed to be fine-tuned on a downstream task. The pretrained model can be used for either masked language modeling or next sentence prediction.

softmax) e.g. for RocStories/SWAG tasks.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the

- **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- Total span extraction loss is the sum of a Cross-Entropy for the start and end positions.
- **start_logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) -- Span-start scores (before SoftMax).
- **end_logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) -- Span-end scores (before SoftMax).
- **hidden_states** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +
  one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.
- **attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length,
  sequence_length)`.

  Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention
  heads.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, CanineForQuestionAnswering
>>> import torch

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/canine-s")
>>> model = CanineForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained("google/canine-s")

>>> question, text = "Who was Jim Henson?", "Jim Henson was a nice puppet"

>>> inputs = tokenizer(question, text, return_tensors="pt")
>>> with torch.no_grad():
...     outputs = model(**inputs)

>>> answer_start_index = outputs.start_logits.argmax()
>>> answer_end_index = outputs.end_logits.argmax()

>>> predict_answer_tokens = inputs.input_ids[0, answer_start_index : answer_end_index + 1]
>>> tokenizer.decode(predict_answer_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
...

>>> # target is "nice puppet"
>>> target_start_index = torch.tensor([14])
>>> target_end_index = torch.tensor([15])

>>> outputs = model(**inputs, start_positions=target_start_index, end_positions=target_end_index)
>>> loss = outputs.loss
>>> round(loss.item(), 2)
...
```

**Parameters:**

config ([CanineForQuestionAnswering](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/canine#transformers.CanineForQuestionAnswering)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from_pretrained()](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

**Returns:**

`[QuestionAnsweringModelOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.QuestionAnsweringModelOutput) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)``

A [QuestionAnsweringModelOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.QuestionAnsweringModelOutput) or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration ([CanineConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/canine#transformers.CanineConfig)) and inputs.
