NLP
A Summary of Hugging Face's
Transformers Library
Introduction to Transformers
• - Transformers are deep learning models for
NLP.
• - They outperform CNNs and RNNs in text
processing.
• - Key features: self-attention, scalability, and
parallelization.
Hugging Face and Transformers
Library
• - Open-source library for NLP models.
• - Supports pretrained models like BERT, GPT,
and T5.
• - Offers a unified API for model training and
inference.
Popular Transformer Architectures
• - BERT: Bidirectional Encoder Representations
from Transformers.
• - GPT-2 & GPT-3: Autoregressive models for
text generation.
• - RoBERTa: Improved BERT model with better
optimization.
• - T5: Converts all NLP tasks into a text-to-text
format.
• - BART: Denoising autoencoder for sequence-
to-sequence tasks.
Applications of Transformers
• - Text Classification: Sentiment analysis, spam
detection.
• - Summarization: Automatic generation of
concise text summaries.
• - Machine Translation: Language translation
(e.g., MarianMT).
• - Question Answering: Extracting answers
from documents.
• - Named Entity Recognition: Identifying
people, places, and things in text.
Community Model Hub
• - Centralized repository for pretrained models.
• - Enables easy sharing, fine-tuning, and
comparison.
• - Over 2,000 models contributed by
researchers worldwide.
Deployment and Future Trends
• - Models can be deployed with PyTorch,
TensorFlow, and ONNX.
• - Performance optimizations enable real-time
applications.
• - Future research: Efficient models, better
interpretability, and multilingual NLP.
