An introduction to NLP with Hugging Face Transformers tutorial
DESCRIPTION
In this workshop, you’ll walk through a complete end-to-end example of using Hugging Face Transformers, involving both our open-source libraries and some of our commercial products. Starting from a dataset containing real-life product reviews from Amazon.com, you’ll train and deploy a text classification model predicting the star rating for similar reviews. Along the way, you’ll learn how to:
- Explore models and datasets on the Hugging Face Hub,
- Load, prepare and save datasets with the Hugging Face datasets library,
- Load, train and save models with the Hugging Face transformers library,
- Build ML applications with Hugging Spaces to showcase your models,
- and maybe a few more things, if we have time!
Of course, all code will be shared with you, and you’ll be able to use it easily in your own projects.
