+[Towhee](https://towhee.io) is a cutting-edge framework designed to streamline the processing of unstructured data through the use of Large Language Model (LLM) based pipeline orchestration. It is uniquely positioned to extract invaluable insights from diverse unstructured data types, including lengthy text, images, audio and video files. Leveraging the capabilities of generative AI and the SOTA deep learning models, Towhee is capable of transforming this unprocessed data into specific formats such as text, image, or embeddings. These can then be efficiently loaded into an appropriate storage system like a vector database. Developers can initially build an intuitive data processing pipeline prototype with user friendly Pythonic APU, then optimize it for production environments.
+
+🎨 Multi Modalities: Towhee is capable of handling a wide range of data types. Whether it's image data, video clips, text, audio files, or even molecular structures, Towhee can process them all.
+
+📃 LLM Pipeline orchestration: Towhee offers flexibility to adapt to different Large Language Models (LLMs). Additionally, it allows for hosting open-source large models locally. Moreover, Towhee provides features like prompt management and knowledge retrieval, making the interaction with these LLMs more efficient and effective.
+
+🎓 Rich Operators: Towhee provides a wide range of ready-to-use state-of-the-art models across five domains: CV, NLP, multimodal, audio, and medical. With over 140 models like BERT and CLIP and rich functionalities like video decoding, audio slicing, frame sampling, and dimensionality reduction, it assists in efficiently building data processing pipelines.
+
+🔌 Prebuilt ETL Pipelines: Towhee offers ready-to-use ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines for common tasks such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Text Image search, and Video copy detection. This means you don't need to be an AI expert to build applications using these features.
+⚡️ High performance backend: Leveraging the power of the Triton Inference Server, Towhee can speed up model serving on both CPU and GPU using platforms like TensorRT, Pytorch, and ONNX. Moreover, you can transform your Python pipeline into a high-performance docker container with just a few lines of code, enabling efficient deployment and scaling.
+
+🐍 Pythonic API: Towhee includes a Pythonic method-chaining API for describing custom data processing pipelines. We also support schemas, which makes processing unstructured data as easy as handling tabular data.

- __Pipelines__: A pipeline is composed of several operators interconnected in the form of a DAG (directed acyclic graph). This DAG can direct complex functionalities, such as embedding feature extraction, data tagging, and cross modal data analysis.
-- __DataCollection API__: A Pythonic and method-chaining style API for building custom pipelines. A pipeline defined by the DataColltion API can be run locally on a laptop for fast prototyping and then be converted to a docker image, with end-to-end optimizations, for production-ready environments.
+- __DataCollection API__: A Pythonic and method-chaining style API for building custom pipelines, providing multiple data conversion interfaces: map, filter, flat_map, concat, window, time_window, and window_all. Through these interfaces, complex data processing pipelines can be built quickly to process unstructured data such as video, audio, text, images, etc.
- __Engine__: The engine sits at Towhee's core. Given a pipeline, the engine will drive dataflow among individual operators, schedule tasks, and monitor compute resource usage (CPU/GPU/etc). We provide a basic engine within Towhee to run pipelines on a single-instance machine and a Triton-based engine for docker containers.

- __流水线（Pipeline）__：流水线是由若干个算子组成的 DAG（有向无环图）。流水线可以实现比单个算子更复杂的功能，诸如特征向量提取、数据标记、跨模态数据理解等。
-- __数据处理 API（DataCollection）__: DataCollection API 是用于描述流水线的编程接口。基于 DataCollection 定义的流水线，既可以在 Jupyter Notebook 中本地运行，支持快速原型设计，也可以通过自动优化，一键构建出满足生产需要的高性能流水线服务，以及对应的 Docker 镜像。
+- __数据处理 API（DataCollection）__: DataCollection API 是用于描述流水线的编程接口。提供多种数据转换接口：map, filter, flat_map, concat, window, time_window以及window_all，通过这些接口，可以快速构建复杂的数据处理管道，处理视频，音频，文本，图像等非结构化数据。
- __执行引擎（Engine）__: 执行引擎负责实例化流水线、任务调度、资源管理，以及运行期性能优化。面向快速原型构建，Towhee 提供了轻量级的本地执行引擎；面向生产环境需求，Towhee 提供了基于 Nvidia Triton 的高性能执行引擎。
