Nougat Base

🚀 Nougat Base Model with ONNX for Transformers.js

This project provides the ONNX weights of the facebook/nougat-base model to make it compatible with Transformers.js, enabling image-to-text conversion for scientific PDFs.

🚀 Quick Start

📦 Installation

If you haven't already, you can install the Transformers.js JavaScript library from NPM using:

npm i @xenova/transformers

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

You can then use the model to convert images of scientific PDFs into markdown like this:

import { pipeline } from '@xenova/transformers';

// Create an image-to-text pipeline
const pipe = await pipeline('image-to-text', 'Xenova/nougat-base');

// Generate markdown
const url = 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xenova/transformers.js-docs/resolve/main/nougat_paper.png';
const output = await pipe(url, {
  min_length: 1,
  max_new_tokens: 40,
  bad_words_ids: [[pipe.tokenizer.unk_token_id]],
});
console.log(output);
// [{ generated_text: "# Nougat: Neural Optical Understanding for Academic Documents\n\n Lukas Blecher\n\nCorrespondence to: liblecher@meta.com\n\nGuillem Cucurull" }]

⚠️ Important Note

Having a separate repo for ONNX weights is intended to be a temporary solution until WebML gains more traction. If you would like to make your models web-ready, we recommend converting to ONNX using 🤗 Optimum and structuring your repo like this one (with ONNX weights located in a subfolder named onnx).
