Hugging Face Model Hub
Hugging Face Model Hub
Hugging Face offers thousands of pre-trained models on the Model Hub. You can search for models for various tasks (text generation, translation, summarization, etc.) and directly load them with from_pretrained
method.
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english')
Fine-tuning Models
You can fine-tune pre-trained models using your own data using the Hugging Face Trainer API. This is a bit more involved, but Hugging Face provides excellent documentation for fine-tuning models for custom tasks. The basic steps are:
- Load your custom dataset
- Tokenize the data
- Create a
Trainer
instance - Train the model
Sharing and Deploying Models
Once you fine-tune a model, you can upload it to the Hugging Face Model Hub to share it with others. You can also deploy models using Hugging Face’s Inference API or use the transformers
library to perform inference directly on your server.
Tips
- Explore Datasets: Hugging Face also offers the
datasets
library, which is great for loading and working with popular datasets in NLP. You can install it via pip:pip install datasets
