Natural Language Processing with Transformers, Revised Edition: Building Language Applications With Hugging Face

This is really great book. This edition is a couple of years old but just about everything in it is still implementable. A few places where things have changed are easily fixable and they provide a relatively up-to-date notebook on GitHub. Not only did I learn to do the things they wrote about, but it also inspired me to pick up a few other things not in the book.

A month in and the pages are falling out. Terrible binding quality. Expect better from O'Reilly publications.

The whole thing is a bit of an advert for HuggingFace

nice book

Too hand-on. I am developer, I needed less code but more explanation on fundamentals repeated over the book without dedicated explanations like hidden. While reading the book I was always wondering « why is he doing this ». May be interesting for ML engineers which lacks only the code part of transformers.

Chegou bem embalado, direitinho e dentro do prazo. Em ótimo estado e a pessoa que recebeu o presente, amou

A very thorough book that introduces the key components of transformer based neural networks along with fully formed examples for common tasks.

Content is all I needed to start coding my first transformers 😁
