System Info

Transformers version: 5.x

The issue is related to the documentation rather than a specific runtime environment.

Who can help?

@Rocketknight1 @stevhliu

Information

  • The official example scripts
  • My own modified scripts

Tasks

  • An officially supported task in the examples folder (such as GLUE/SQuAD, ...)
  • My own task or dataset (give details below)

Reproduction

This is a documentation inconsistency in Transformers v5. text2text-generation / summarization / translation pipeline tasks (pipeline("text2text-generation"), pipeline("summarization") and pipeline("translation")) were removed in v5. Despite this, the official documentation still contains multiple references to these tasks.

Expected behavior

References to text2text-generation, summarization and translation as pipeline task names should be removed.

Fix Plan

Update Documentation

Update the official documentation to reflect the removal of text2text-generation, summarization, and translation pipeline tasks in Transformers v5.

Steps:

  1. Identify outdated documentation:
    • Search for the removed pipeline tasks in the documentation.
    • Create a list of affected pages and links.
  2. Update pipeline task names:
    • Replace text2text-generation with text2text or generation.
    • Replace summarization with summarization (no change needed).
    • Replace translation with translation (no change needed).
  3. Update model documentation:
    • Update model-specific documentation to reflect the new pipeline task names.
    • Remove references to the removed pipeline tasks.
  4. Verify changes:
    • Review updated documentation for accuracy.
    • Test pipeline tasks to ensure they work as expected.

Example Code (Python)

import transformers

# Update pipeline task names
transformers.pipeline("text2text")  # instead of "text2text-generation"
transformers.pipeline("summarization")  # no change needed
transformers.pipeline("translation")  # no change needed

Note: This fix plan assumes that the documentation is maintained using a version control system like Git. If not, consider using a documentation management tool to track changes and updates.
