Transformers from the Ground Up Sebastian Raschka, Py Data Jeddah

In recent years, deep learningbased transformer models have revolutionized natural language processing. First of all, this talk will explain how transformers work. Then, we will examine some popular transformers like GPT and BERT and understand how they differ. Equipped with this understanding, we will then take a look at how we can finetune a BERT model for sentiment classification in Python. Note: timestamps will be added soon.
