Introduction - Hugging Face NLP Course | https://huggingface.co/learn/nlp-course/chapter1/1?fw=pt | ## [](#introduction)Introduction
[](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/chapter-1-questions)
## [](#welcome-to-the-course)Welcome to the 🤗 Course!
This course will teach you about natural language processing (NLP) using libraries from the [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/) ecosystem — [🤗 Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers), [🤗 Datasets](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets), [🤗 Tokenizers](https://github.com/huggingface/tokenizers), and [🤗 Accelerate](https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate) — as well as the [Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/models). It’s completely free and without ads.
## [](#what-to-expect)What to expect?
Here is a brief overview of the course:
 
- Chapters 1 to 4 provide an introduction to the main concepts of the 🤗 Transformers library. By the end of this part of the course, you will be familiar with how Transformer models work and will know how to use a model from the [Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/models), fine-tune it on a dataset, and share your results on the Hub!
- Chapters 5 to 8 teach the basics of 🤗 Datasets and 🤗 Tokenizers before diving into classic NLP tasks. By the end of this part, you will be able to tackle the most common NLP problems by yourself.
- Chapters 9 to 12 go beyond NLP, and explore how Transformer models can be used to tackle tasks in speech processing and computer vision. Along the way, you’ll learn how to build and share demos of your models, and optimize them for production environments. By the end of this part, you will be ready to apply 🤗 Transformers to (almost) any machine learning problem!
This course:
- Requires a good knowledge of Python
- Is better taken after an introductory deep learning course, such as [fast.ai’s](https://www.fast.ai/) [Practical Deep Learning for Coders](https://course.fast.ai/) or one of the programs developed by [DeepLearning.AI](https://www.deeplearning.ai/)
- Does not expect prior [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/) or [TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/) knowledge, though some familiarity with either of those will help
After you’ve completed this course, we recommend checking out DeepLearning.AI’s [Natural Language Processing Specialization](https://www.coursera.org/specializations/natural-language-processing?utm_source=deeplearning-ai&utm_medium=institutions&utm_campaign=20211011-nlp-2-hugging_face-page-nlp-refresh), which covers a wide range of traditional NLP models like naive Bayes and LSTMs that are well worth knowing about!
## [](#who-are-we)Who are we?
About the authors:
[**Abubakar Abid**](https://huggingface.co/abidlabs) completed his PhD at Stanford in applied machine learning. During his PhD, he founded [Gradio](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio), an open-source Python library that has been used to build over 600,000 machine learning demos. Gradio was acquired by Hugging Face, which is where Abubakar now serves as a machine learning team lead.
[**Matthew Carrigan**](https://huggingface.co/Rocketknight1) is a Machine Learning Engineer at Hugging Face. He lives in Dublin, Ireland and previously worked as an ML engineer at Parse.ly and before that as a post-doctoral researcher at Trinity College Dublin. He does not believe we’re going to get to AGI by scaling existing architectures, but has high hopes for robot immortality regardless.
[**Lysandre Debut**](https://huggingface.co/lysandre) is a Machine Learning Engineer at Hugging Face and has been working on the 🤗 Transformers library since the very early development stages. His aim is to make NLP accessible for everyone by developing tools with a very simple API.

By the end of this part of the course, you will be familiar with how Transformer models work and will know how to use a model from the <a href="https://huggingface.co/models" rel="nofollow">Hugging Face Hub</a>, fine-tune it on a dataset, and share your results on the Hub!</li> <li>Chapters 5 to 8 teach the basics of 🤗 Datasets and 🤗 Tokenizers before diving into classic NLP tasks. By the end of this part, you will be able to tackle the most common NLP problems by yourself.</li> <li>Chapters 9 to 12 go beyond NLP, and explore how Transformer models can be used to tackle tasks in speech processing and computer vision. Along the way, you’ll learn how to build and share demos of your models, and optimize them for production environments. By the end of this part, you will be ready to apply 🤗 Transformers to (almost) any machine learning problem!</li></ul> <p>This course:</p> <ul><li>Requires a good knowledge of Python</li> <li>Is better taken after an introductory deep learning course, such as <a href="https://www.fast.ai/" rel="nofollow">fast.ai’s</a> <a href="https://course.fast.ai/" rel="nofollow">Practical Deep Learning for Coders</a> or one of the programs developed by <a href="https://www.deeplearning.ai/" rel="nofollow">DeepLearning.AI</a></li> <li>Does not expect prior <a href="https://pytorch.org/" rel="nofollow">PyTorch</a> or <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/" rel="nofollow">TensorFlow</a> knowledge, though some familiarity with either of those will help</li></ul> <p>After you’ve completed this course, we recommend checking out DeepLearning.AI’s <a href="https://www.coursera.org/specializations/natural-language-processing?utm_source=deeplearning-ai&utm_medium=institutions&utm_campaign=20211011-nlp-2-hugging_face-page-nlp-refresh" rel="nofollow">Natural Language Processing Specialization</a>, which covers a wide range of traditional NLP models like naive Bayes and LSTMs that are well worth knowing about!</p> <h2 class="relative group"><a id="who-are-we" class="header-link block pr-1.5 text-lg no-hover:hidden with-hover:absolute with-hover:p-1.5 with-hover:opacity-0 with-hover:group-hover:opacity-100 with-hover:right-full" href="#who-are-we"><span><svg class="" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" aria-hidden="true" role="img" width="1em" height="1em" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" viewBox="0 0 256 256"><path d="M167.594 88.393a8.001 8.001 0 0 1 0 11.314l-67.882 67.882a8 8 0 1 1-11.314-11.315l67.882-67.881a8.003 8.003 0 0 1 11.314 0zm-28.287 84.86l-28.284 28.284a40 40 0 0 1-56.567-56.567l28.284-28.284a8 8 0 0 0-11.315-11.315l-28.284 28.284a56 56 0 0 0 79.196 79.197l28.285-28.285a8 8 0 1 0-11.315-11.314zM212.852 43.14a56.002 56.002 0 0 0-79.196 0l-28.284 28.284a8 8 0 1 0 11.314 11.314l28.284-28.284a40 40 0 0 1 56.568 56.567l-28.285 28.285a8 8 0 0 0 11.315 11.314l28.284-28.284a56.065 56.065 0 0 0 0-79.196z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></span></a> <span>Who are we?</span></h2> <p>About the authors:</p> <p><a href="https://huggingface.co/abidlabs" rel="nofollow"><strong>Abubakar Abid</strong></a> completed his PhD at Stanford in applied machine learning.
