Transformers for NLP in TensorFlow

So how does it work? Well, let’s say you want to build a chatbot that can understand natural language and respond appropriately. You might start by preprocessing some text data using TensorFlow Datasets (which is like a library for loading and cleaning up your data) and then creating an input pipeline with tf.data (which helps us manage our data in a more efficient way).

Next, we’ll implement MultiHeadAttention with Model subclassing this basically means that we’re going to use multiple attention heads to help the model focus on specific parts of the text and understand its meaning better. And finally, we’ll create a Transformer using Functional API (which is like a more flexible way of defining our neural network architecture).

So let’s say you input “Where have you been?” into your chatbot. The model will use all that fancy math to figure out what the best response might be based on its training data and then output something like “I don’t know where i am right now, but i can help you with other things.”

We can also use pre-trained models from Hugging Face (which is a popular library for NLP) to make our lives even easier. For example, we might use the “facebook/blenderbot-400M-distill” model to generate responses based on our input text.

So let’s say you input “My friends are cool but they eat too many carbs.” The model will output something like “That’s unfortunate. Are they trying to lose weight or are they just trying to be healthier?” And if you respond with “I don’t know, I’m not sure either,” the chatbot might say something like “Hmm, that’s interesting. Let me see what else I can find out for you.”

It may sound fancy and complicated at first, but once you break it down into smaller parts (like preprocessing your data, implementing MultiHeadAttention, creating a Transformer using Functional API) it becomes much easier to understand. And with the help of libraries like Hugging Face, we can even use pre-trained models to make our lives even easier!
