Description
Transformers have become the dominant architecture for achieving state-of-the-art results in natural language processing tasks. This practical book, now revised in full color, shows you how to train and scale these large models using Hugging Face Transformers, a Python-based deep learning library. You'll learn how to build, debug, and optimize transformer models for core NLP tasks, such as text classification, named entity recognition, and question answering. The book also covers cross-lingual transfer learning and applying transformers in real-world scenarios where labeled data is scarce. By the end of this guide, you'll be able to train transformers from scratch, scale to multiple GPUs and distributed environments, and make your models efficient for deployment using techniques such as distillation, pruning, and quantization.
