Lately, transformer architecture has appeared as a swiss knife for Machine Learning architecture. The transformer architecture is at the heart of most recent breakthroughs in Generative Artificial Intelligence. For instance, tools like ChatGPT and BARD, perceived by many as paving stones towards artificial general intelligence, are built on Transformer foundations. Thus, it is imperative for data scientists, ML Engineers, and Technologists to understand how this architecture can solve various ML tasks.
This book provides both theoretical and practical understanding of transformer architecture. Specifically, we will cover these ML tasks: Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computer Vision, Speech Processing, Tabular Data Processing, Reinforcement Learning, and Multi-Modalities. Center to the book are four major ML tasks, each explored in depth across two chapters. The initial chapter lays the groundwork by discussing the conceptual understanding. Here, we discuss the inner working of transformer architecture to solve tasks and discuss the architecture of major foundational models. Following this, the subsequent chapters focus on the practical understanding of pre-training, fine-tuning and using open source models to solve the ML tasks. This book will demonstrate practical applications through several comprehensive, end-to-end projects.
To equip with comprehensive understanding, the book has dedicated chapters for Hugging Face Ecosystem, transfer learning and deploying and serving transformer models. We will also delve deeper into best practices and debugging transfomer model developed utilizing PyTorch and Hugging Face.
