ImportError: cannot import name 'ModelFilter' from 'huggingface_hub' while importing from nemo.collections.asr.models import EncDecMultiTaskModel

[byColton]

I am attempting to use the tutorial code found on huggingface's ''. While importing from nemo.collections.asr.models import EncDecMultiTaskModel I produce the following code. ImportError: cannot import name 'ModelFilter' from 'huggingface_hub'. I have matched the HF package in the requirements documents.

File --------------------lib/python3.10/site-packages/nemo/core/classes/common.py:31
29 import torch
30 import wrapt
---> 31 from huggingface_hub import HfApi, HfFolder, ModelFilter, hf_hub_download
32 from huggingface_hub.hf_api import ModelInfo
33 from omegaconf import DictConfig, OmegaConf

ImportError: cannot import name 'ModelFilter' from 'huggingface_hub'

NeMo is notorious for not pinning their versions (huggingface_hub>=0.20.3 in requirements.txt). huggingface_hub released an new version 2 days ago (release notes). That might be whats causing the issue, especially if you did a fresh install of the nemo-toolkit from pip. I recommend doing a forced reinstall of huggingface_hub to its previous version and see if that helps.

I am also running into this problem but at the time of writing this message, I have not tried out the recommended solution. Hope this helps!

This issue is likely caused by a version mismatch between the nemo_toolkit and the huggingface_hub package.

ModelFilter and DatasetFilter are completely removed

By matching the huggingface_hub version to 0.22.0, I was able to resolve the import error. If you are using nemo_toolkit==1.23.0, this version of huggingface_hub should work.

I hope this helps others facing the same issue!

When I install huggingface-hub==0.22.0 it says

ImportError: huggingface-hub>=0.23.2,<1.0 is required for a normal functioning of this module, but found huggingface-hub==0.22.0.
Try: pip install transformers -U or pip install -e '.[dev]' if you're working with git main

I guess you could use huggingface-hub==0.23.2, so that it works

Thanks @vygodisgreat - that fix worked for me (huggingface-hub==0.23.2)

Again it doesn't work with the out of the box version (huggingface-hub==0.23.2) works though
