Introduction to Transformers for NLP - Shashank Mohan Jain Kartoniert (TB)

Get a hands-on introduction to Transformer architecture using the Hugging Face library. This book explains how Transformers are changing the AI domain particularly in the area of natural language processing. This book covers Transformer architecture and its relevance in natural language processing (NLP). It starts with an introduction to NLP and a progression of language models from n-grams to a Transformer-based architecture. Next it offers some basic Transformers examples using the Google colab engine. Then it introduces the Hugging Face ecosystem and the different libraries and models pr ovided by it. Moving forward it explains language models such as Google BERT with some examples before providing a deep dive into Hugging Face API using different language models to address tasks such as sentence classification sentiment analysis summarization and text generation. After completing Introduction to Transformers for NLP you will understand Transformer concepts and be able to solve problems using the Hugging Face library.
