README
Backprop makes it simple to use, finetune, and deploy state-of-the-art ML models.
Solve a variety of tasks with pre-trained models or finetune them in one line for your own tasks.
Out of the box tasks you can solve with Backprop:
- Conversational question answering in English
- Text Classification in 100+ languages
- Image Classification
- Text Vectorisation in 50+ languages
- Image Vectorisation
- Summarisation in English
- Emotion detection in English
- Text Generation
For more specific use cases, you can adapt a task with little data and a single line of code via finetuning.

## Getting started
### Installation
Install Backprop via PyPi:
```bash
pip install backprop
```
### Basic task inference
Tasks act as interfaces that let you easily use a variety of supported models.
```python
import backprop
context = "Take a look at the examples folder to see use cases!"
qa = backprop.QA()
# Start building!
answer = qa("Where can I see what to build?", context)
print(answer)
# Prints
"the examples folder"
```
You can run all tasks and models on your own machine, or in production with our inference [API](https://backprop.co), simply by specifying your `api_key`.
See how to use [all available tasks](https://backprop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Tasks.html).
### Basic finetuning and uploading
Each task implements finetuning that lets you adapt a model for your specific use case in a single line of code.
A finetuned model is easy to upload to production, letting you focus on building great applications.
```python
import backprop
tg = backprop.TextGeneration("t5-small")
# Any text works as training data
inp = ["I really liked the service I received!", "Meh, it was not impressive."]
out = ["positive", "negative"]
# Finetune with a single line of code
tg.finetune({"input_text": inp, "output_text": out})
# Use your trained model
prediction = tg("I enjoyed it!")
print(prediction)
# Prints
"positive"
# Upload to Backprop for production ready inference
# Describe your model
name = "t5-sentiment"
description = "Predicts positive and negative sentiment"
tg.upload(name=name, description=description, api_key="abc")
```
See [finetuning for other tasks](https://backprop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Finetuning.html).
## Why Backprop?
1. No experience needed
- Entrance to practical AI should be simple
- Get state-of-the-art performance in your task without being an expert
2. Data is a bottleneck
- Solve real world tasks without any data
- With transfer learning, even a small amount of data can adapt a task to your niche requirements
3. There are an overwhelming amount of models
- We offer a curated selection of the best open-source models and make them simple to use
- A few general models can accomplish more with less optimisation
4. Deploying models cost effectively is hard work
- If our models suit your use case, no deployment is needed: just call our API
- Adapt and deploy your own model with just a few lines of code
- Our API scales, is always available, and you only pay for usage
## Examples
- Solve any text based task with Finetuning ([Github](https://github.com/backprop-ai/backprop/blob/main/examples/Finetuning_GettingStarted.ipynb), [Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/backprop-ai/backprop/blob/main/examples/Finetuning_GettingStarted.ipynb))
- Search for images using text ([Github](https://github.com/backprop-ai/backprop/blob/main/examples/ImageVectorisation.ipynb))
- Finding answers from text ([Github](https://github.com/backprop-ai/backprop/blob/main/examples/Q%26A.ipynb))
