The HuggingFace Transformers library (Wolf et al.) was first presented as a demo at EMNLP 2020 and is the de-facto Python toolkit for pre-trained Transformer models.
Summary
HuggingFace Transformers was introduced to the research community at EMNLP 2020 and has since become the standard Python package for working with pre-trained Transformer models. This anchors the library's origin for provenance and citation tracking, and signals that much of the NLP toolchain is effectively built around one package, so its API and versioning decisions ripple through downstream work.
