Working with Hugging Face

via DataCamp

Overview

Navigate and use the extensive repository of models and datasets available on the Hugging Face Hub.

Hugging Face is a vital platform for machine learning and AI tasks due to its robust workflows and extensive model repository. In this course, you'll first explore the basics of Hugging Face, including its components, available models, and datasets. You'll then unlock the potential of state-of-the-art transformers and frameworks for ML and AI tasks, starting with NLP. You'll discover essential pipelines and expand into tasks involving images and audio. The journey concludes with a focus on fine-tuning models and using embeddings for downstream tasks like searching.

Syllabus

  • Getting Started with Hugging Face
    • Start your journey with the Hugging Face platform by understanding what Hugging Face is and common use cases. Then, you'll learn about the Hugging Face Hub including models and datasets available, how to search for them, navigate model, or dataset, cards, and download. Lastly, you'll learn about the high-level components of transformers and LLMs.
  • Building Pipelines with Hugging Face
    • It's time to dive into the Hugging Face ecosystem! You'll start by learning the basics of the pipeline module and Auto classes from the transformers library. Then, you'll learn at a high level what natural language processing and tokenization is. Finally, you'll start using the pipeline module for several text-based tasks, including text classification.
  • Building Pipelines for Image and Audio
    • In this chapter, you'll apply pipeline methodologies to new tasks using image and audio data. Specifically, you will learn ways to process these types of data in preparation for tasks such as classification, question and answering and automatic speech recognition.
  • Fine-tuning and Embeddings
    • Explore the different frameworks for fine-tuning, text generation, and embeddings. Start with the basics of fine-tuning a pre-trained model on a specific dataset and task to improve performance. Then, use Auto classes to generate the text from prompts and images. Finally, you will explore how to generate and use embeddings.
