Natural Language Processing with Transformers

By Lewis Tunstall, Leondro von Werra & Thomas Wolf

–

Natural Language Processing with Transformer by authors Tunstall, von Werra, and Wolf, provides a hands-on explanation of transformers’ functionality and their integration into various applications, including news writing, Google Search queries, and chatbots. If you’re a data scientist or coder, this practical book shows you how to train and scale these large models using Hugging Face Transformers, a Python-based deep learning library.

Interpretable Machine Learning with Python – Second Edition

By Serg Masis

Interpretable Machine Learning with Python, Second Edition, by Serg Masis teaches the key concepts of interpreting machine learning models using real-world data. It provides a range of skills and tools to decipher complex models, from flight delay prediction to waste classification. The book covers traditional methods like feature importance and partial dependence plots, as well as integrated gradients and gradient-based attribution methods. It also teaches hands-on techniques for tuning models and training data for interpretability, reducing complexity, mitigating bias, and enhancing reliability.

Generative AI with LangChain

By BenAuffarth

Generative AI with LangChain by Ben Auffarth explores the functions, capabilities, and limitations of LLR models like ChatGPT and Bard, and how to use the LangChain framework for production-ready applications. It covers transformer models, attention mechanisms, training and fine-tuning, data-driven decision-making, automated analysis and visualization using pandas and Python, and heuristics for model usage. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of LLMs and their potential for enhancing our understanding of the world.
