What will you learn?
After the training, you will be able to:
Refresh the fundamentals of NLP: Word embeddings, NLP with traditional machine learning, its limitations, and the transformer architecture.
How to utilize existing models to your text data for various tasks such as text classification, -generation and -translation.
Apply transfer learning to fine-tune existing models on your own datasets for optimal results.
Build a pipeline from raw text input to predictions or text generation.
Use zero- and few shot learning to train your data, even when little or no labelled data is available.
Understand common hyperparameters such as top-k, top-p and temperature for text generation.
Program
