nlp-deeplearning-ai-examples


This repository started as a place to store Colab notebooks for a Coursera NLP Specialization series that I was auditing. Because I am auditing, I don't have access to the exact assignments or datasets, so I improvised a bit, using the opportunity to try out appropriate illustrative toy examples. I also wanted to teach myself Pytorch, so all examples use Pytorch.


Before I did that, though, I realized that I needed to learn Pytorch basics first, so I picked up an elementary Pytorch book (don't remember which unfortunately, it could be the Practical Deep Learning with Pytorch course on Udemy, and tried out some of the exercises with toy datasets I found here and there.


I also wanted to get familiar with Pytorch-Lightning, so I rebuilt the last 3 from the list above to use Pytorch Lightning.


Here are some experiments with Longformer as part of research for an internal talk I did on Transformer Mods for Document Length Inputs (and also for the #nlp-embeddings group on the TWIML Slack Channel).


Random notebooks, usually to back up blog posts or satisfy my own curiosity.
