Introduction to Modern NLP with Hugging Face and CORD-19
In this session, attendees will be introduced to transformers, a modeling architecture that is changing the Natural Language Processing (NLP) field. The hands-on demonstration will provide some examples of the NLP tasks that transformers can perform, how tools like Huggingface's transformer library can help developers and data scientists perform these tasks quickly, and provide an example of one such task utilizing the AI2's new CORD-19 dataset.

You will need to have a Google account set up on your computer to use during this session.
