In every domain of artificial intelligence, there is one algorithm that transforms the entire field into an industry-matured tool to be used across a broad spectrum of use cases. BERT is that algorithm for natural language processing (NLP). In this course, explore the fundamentals of BERT architecture, including variations, transfer learning capabilities, and best practices. Examine the Hugging Face library and its role in sentiment analysis problems. Practice model setup, pre-processing, sentiment classification training, and evaluating models using BERT. Finally, take a critical look to recognize the challenges of using BERT. Upon completing this course, you'll be able to demonstrate how to solve simple sentiment analysis problems.

Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models go beyond classifying and predicting text behavior to helping actually generate text. Imagine an algorithm that can produce articles, songs, books, or code - anything that humans can write. That is what GPT can help you achieve. In this course, discover the key concepts of language models for text generation and the primary features of GPT models. Next, focus on GPT-3 architecture. Then, explore few-shot learning and industry use cases and challenges for GPT. Finally, practice decoding methods with greedy search, beam search, and basic and advanced sampling methods. Upon completing this course, you will understand the fundamentals of the GPT model and how it enables text generation.

With recent advancements in cheap GPU compute power and natural language processing (NLP) research, companies and researchers have introduced many powerful models and architectures that have taken NLP to new heights. In this course, learn about Transformer models like Bert and GPT and the maturity of AI in NLP areas due to these models. Next, examine the fundamentals of Transformer models and their architectures. Finally, discover the importance of attention mechanisms in the Transformer architecture and how they help achieve state-of-the-art results in NLP tasks. Upon completing this course, you'll be able to understand different aspects of Transformer architectures like the self-attention layer and encoder-decoder models.

Translating from one language to another is a common task in Natural Language Processing (NLP). The transformer model works by passing multiple words through a neural network simultaneously and is one of the newest models propelling a surge of progression, sometimes referred to as transformer AI. In this course, you will solve real-world machine translation problems, translating from English to French. Explore machine translation problem formulation, notebook setup, and data pre-processing. Then, learn to tokenize and vectorize data into a sequence of integers, where each integer represents the index of a word in a vocabulary. Discover transformer encoder-decoder and see how to produce input and output sequences. Finally, define the attention layer and assemble, train, and evaluate the translation model end to end. Upon completing this course, you will be able to solve industry-level problems using deep learning methodology in the TensorFlow ecosystem.
