Transformer Library
The Transformers library is a machine learning library maintained by Hugging Face and the community. It provides APIs and tools to easily download and train state-of-the-art pretrained models, reducing compute costs and saving time and resources required to train a model from scratch.
Areas of application
- Natural Language Processing
- Machine Translation
- Sentiment Analysis
- Text Generation
- Speech Recognition
- Question Answering Systems
- Chatbots
- Text Summarization
Example
Using the Transformer Library to train a BERT model for sentiment analysis on a small dataset saves hours of computational time and reduces the cost of training compared to training from scratch.
