Tutorial: Text Classification using GPT2 and Pytorch

💻 Code | 📔 Slides | 📺 Recording

📆 april 09, 2021 | Zoom

  • Text classification is a very common problem that needs solving when dealing with text data.
  • We’ve all seen and know how to use Encoder Transformer models like Bert and RoBerta for text classification but did you know you can use a Decoder Transformer model like GPT2 for text classification?
  • In this tutorial, I will walk you through on how to use GPT2 from HuggingFace for text classification.
  • We will start with downloading customized dataset, installing required componments, selecting pre-trained models, and then train the model. we will finally evaluate the results and how to optimize further.

Duration: 1 Hour 45 Minutes
