Book Description

Transformers for Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision, Third Edition, explores Large Language Model (LLM) architectures, applications, and various platforms (Hugging Face, OpenAI, and Google Vertex AI) used for Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV).The book guides you through different transformer architectures to the latest Foundation Models and Generative AI. You'll pretrain and fine-tune LLMs and work through different use cases, from summarization to implementing question-answering systems with embedding-based search techniques. You will also learn the risks of LLMs, from hallucinations and memorization to privacy, and how to mitigate such risks using moderation models with rule and knowledge bases. You'll implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with LLMs to improve the accuracy of your models and gain greater control over LLM outputs.Dive into generative vision transformers and multimodal model architectures and build applications, such as image and video-to-text classifiers. Go further by combining different models and platforms and learning about AI agent replication.This book provides you with an understanding of transformer architectures, pretraining, fine-tuning, LLM use cases, and best practices.

What you will learn

• Breakdown and understand the architectures of the Original Transformer, BERT, GPT models, T5, PaLM, ViT, CLIP, and DALL-E
• Fine-tune BERT, GPT, and PaLM 2 models
• Learn about different tokenizers and the best practices for preprocessing language data
• Pretrain a RoBERTa model from scratch
• Implement retrieval augmented generation and rules bases to mitigate hallucinations
• Visualize transformer model activity for deeper insights using BertViz, LIME, and SHAP
• Go in-depth into vision transformers with CLIP, DALL-E 2, DALL-E 3, and GPT-4V

Who this book is for

This book is ideal for NLP and CV engineers, software developers, data scientists, machine learning engineers, and technical leaders looking to advance their LLMs and generative AI skills or explore the latest trends in the field.Knowledge of Python and machine learning concepts is required to fully understand the use cases and code examples. However, with examples using LLM user interfaces, prompt engineering, and no-code model building, this book is great for anyone curious about the AI revolution.
