The model type signatures help you figure out which model architectures and

components can **fit together**. For instance, the
|

[`TextCategorizer`](/api/textcategorizer) class expects a model typed
|
||||
~~Model[List[Doc], Floats2d]~~, because the model will predict one row of
|
||||
category probabilities per `Doc`. In contrast, the `Tagger` class expects a
|
||||
model typed ~~Model[List[Doc], List[Floats2d]]~~, because it needs to predict
|
||||
one row of probabilities per token. There's no guarantee that two models with
|
||||
the same type-signature can be used interchangeably. There are many other ways
|

they could be incompatible. However, if the types don't match, they almost

surely _won't_ be compatible. This little bit of validation goes a long way,

especially if you configure your editor or other tools to highlight these errors

## Defining sublayers {#sublayers}
|
||||
|
||||
Model architecture functions often accept sublayers as arguments, so that you
|
||||
can try substituting a different layer into the network. Depending on how the
|
||||
architecture function is structured, you might be able to define your network
|
||||
structure entirely through the [config system](/usage/training#config), using
|
||||
layers that have already been defined. The

network structure entirely through the [config system](/usage/training#config),

using layers that have already been defined. The
|
||||
[transformers documentation](/usage/embeddings-transformers#transformers)
|

section shows a common example of swapping in a different sublayer. In most NLP

In most neural network models for NLP, the most important parts of the network
|
||||
are what we refer to as the
|
||||
[embed and encode](https://explosion.ai/blog/embed-encode-attend-predict) steps.
|
||||
These steps together compute dense, context-sensitive representations of the
|
||||
tokens. Most of spaCy's default architectures accept a `tok2vec` layer as an
|
||||
argument, so you can control this important part of the network separately. This
|
||||
makes it easy to switch between transformer, CNN, BiLSTM or other feature
|
||||
extraction approaches. And if you want to define your own solution, all you need
|
||||
to do is register a ~~Model[List[Doc], List[Floats2d]]~~ architecture function,
|
||||
and you'll be able to try it out in any of spaCy components.
