Transformers and NLP: Fine-Tuning Models with Hugging Face

Transformers, Fine-Tuning, and Model Evaluation is designed for learners with deep learning and NLP experience who want to master transformer architectures, fine-tune pre-trained models using Hugging Face, and deploy production-ready NLP solutions. You'll begin by exploring the transformer architecture in depth — including self-attention mechanisms, positional encodings, and model families like BERT, GPT, and T5. Next, you'll learn to prepare datasets, fine-tune models for classification tasks, and evaluate results using metrics like F1, precision, and confusion matrices. The third module covers reproducibility and version control using DVC and Git, along with publishing models to the Hugging Face Hub. Finally, you'll build and deploy transformer inference APIs using FastAPI, optimize performance through quantization, and integrate CI/CD practices for production systems. By the end of this course, you will: - Apply transformer architectures to solve real-world NLP tasks - Fine-tune and evaluate pre-trained models using Hugging Face Transformers and Datasets - Build reproducible ML pipelines with DVC and Git version control - Deploy and test transformer-based inference APIs using FastAPI Disclaimer: This is an independent educational resource created by Board Infinity for informational and educational purposes only.
