An Overview of the Evolution of Recent Transfer Learning Techniques for Natural Language Processing (NLP) — The following is an extract from my newly released book “Transfer Learning for Natural Language Processing”. The extract summarizes some recent NLP model architectures relying on the concept of transfer learning. Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed modern society in a dramatic way. Tasks which were previously done by humans can…

Transformer Language Modeling for Akuapem and Asante Twi Introduction In our previous blog post we introduced a preliminary Twi embedding model based on fastText and visualized it using the Tensorflow Embedding Projector. As a reminder, text embeddings allow you to convert text into numbers or vectors which a computer can perform…

Introduction Natural language processing (NLP) is the subfield or Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) concerned with teaching computers to read, understand and act on human language. A major component in…

Last year, I had the privilege of attending the 2019 Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) conference in Vancouver, Canada. It is widely recognized as the biggest and most influential conference by the Machine Learning (ML) community, and most of those who are interested in the future of the Artificial Intelligence…
