Welcome to the Hugging Face course
Welcome to the Hugging Face Course!
This section introduces the Hugging Face Course and provides an overview of its content.
Introduction to the Hugging Face Course
- The course aims to teach about the Hugging Face ecosystem, including the dataset and model hub, as well as open source libraries.
- Divided into three sections, progressively increasing in complexity.
- First two sections already released, covering basics of using Transformer models and fine-tuning on custom datasets.
- Third section currently being developed and expected to be ready by spring 2022.
Basics of Using a Transformer Model
This section focuses on teaching the fundamentals of using a Transformer model.
Getting Started with Transformers
- No technical knowledge required for this chapter.
- Provides an introduction to what Transformers models can do and their potential applications.
- Suitable for individuals or companies interested in understanding how Transformers can be useful.
Prerequisites for Further Chapters
- Python proficiency is essential for upcoming chapters.
- Basic knowledge of Machine Learning and Deep Learning recommended.
- Familiarity with concepts like training/validation sets and gradient descent is beneficial.
- Suggested introductory courses: deeplearning.ai or fast.ai.
Recommended Deep Learning Framework
