This repository is dedicated to learning and understanding the basics of BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers). It covers various aspects of the transformer architecture, including the encoder and decoder modules. Additionally, it explores the utilization of pre-trained models and their application to different natural language processing tasks.
The repository is organized into several sections to facilitate a step-by-step learning process:
-
Transformer Architecture: This section provides a detailed explanation of the transformer architecture, including self-attention mechanisms, multi-head attention, feed-forward networks, and residual connections.
-
Encoder: Here, the focus is on the encoder module of the transformer. The encoding process is explained, along with the role of positional embeddings and the importance of capturing contextual information in text.
-
Decoder: The decoder module is explored in this section. Its purpose in tasks like machine translation is discussed, along with the concept of masked self-attention and the generation of predictions.
-
Utilizing Pre-trained Models: Pre-trained models, such as BERT, have revolutionized natural language processing tasks. This section delves into the benefits of using pre-trained models, transfer learning, and fine-tuning techniques to adapt these models to specific classification tasks.
-
Data Augmentation: State-of-the-art practices for data augmentation in text classification tasks are covered here. Techniques like back-translation, word replacement, and contextual word embeddings are explained, along with their effectiveness in improving model performance.
-
Improving Model Performance: This section explores novel approaches to enhance model performance in text classification tasks. Advanced techniques, such as knowledge distillation, ensemble methods, and model stacking, are discussed.
