In most industries, the newest wave of language optimization is just getting started — taking their first baby steps. But these seedlings are widespread, and sprouting quickly. Much of this adoption is thanks to the incredibly low barrier-to-entry. If you know the basics of TensorFlow or PyTorch, and take a little time to get to grips with the Transformers library — you’re already halfway there. With the Transformers library, it takes just three lines of code to initialize a cutting-edge ML model — a model built from the billions of research dollars spent by the likes of Google, Facebook, and OpenAI.

With the real-time information available to us on massive social media platforms like Twitter, we have all the data we could ever need to create these accurate and up-to-date sentiment metrics for different companies. But then comes the question, how can our computer understand what this unstructured text data means? That is where sentiment analysis comes in. Sentiment analysis is a particularly interesting branch of Natural Language Processing (NLP), which is used to rate the language used in a body of text. Through sentiment analysis, we can take thousands of tweets about a company and judge whether they are generally positive or negative (the sentiment) in real-time! 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 Medium article: https://towardsdatascience.com/sentiment-analysis-for-stock-price-prediction-in-python-bed40c65d178 (Free link if you don't have Medium membership): https://towardsdatascience.com/sentiment-analysis-for-stock-price-prediction-in-python-bed40c65d178?sk=1cbf33a5d1fd2ed841f9487972c1cbed Thumbnail photo by Alexander London on Unsplash https://unsplash.com/@alxndr_london	People & Blogs	64	2

As a data-minded person, I wanted to take advantage of this and perform some analysis using this vast repository of open-source data. Initially, it turned out that getting to grip with Reddit’s API wasn’t as clear-cut as expected — despite being a straightforward process; it can be a little confusing at first. So, after figuring everything out, I wrote this article — which I hope will help a few of you to get familiar with using the Reddit API in Python. We will cover: Getting Access Making Requests - Reading the Data - Streaming New Posts Parameters Getting Access First, we need access. Unlike most popular services, the Reddit API was somewhat difficult to figure out initially. There are several steps: 1. Go to App Preferences and click create another app… at the bottom. 2. Fill out the required details, make sure to select script — and click create app. 3. make a note of the personal use script and secret tokens. 4. Request a temporary OAuth token from Reddit. We need our username and password for this. 5. Add headers=headers to every request. The OAuth token will expire after ~2 hours, and a new one will need to be requested.

Learning how to decode outputs can make a huge difference in diagnosing model issues and improving text output quality - and as an added bonus it's super easy. One of the often-overlooked parts of sequence generation in natural language processing (NLP) is how we select our output tokens — otherwise known as decoding. You may be thinking — we select a token/word/character based on the probability of each token assigned by our model. This is half-true — in language-based tasks, we typically build a model which outputs a set of probabilities to an array where each value in that array represents the probability of a specific word/token. At this point, it might seem logical to select the token with the highest probability? Well, not really — this can create some unforeseen consequences — as we will see soon. When we are selecting a token in machine-generated text, we have a few alternative methods for performing this decode — and options for modifying the exact behavior too. In this video we will explore three different methods for selecting our output token, these are: - Greedy Decoding - Random Sampling - Beam Search 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 Link to the article version on Medium: https://towardsdatascience.com/the-three-decoding-methods-for-nlp-23ca59cb1e9d Free link (if you don't have membership): https://towardsdatascience.com/the-three-decoding-methods-for-nlp-23ca59cb1e9d?sk=64fbb0204c174dc520af027a69f88030	Education	28	0

Text generation? Transformer. Question-and-answering? Transformer. Language classification? Transformer! However, one of the problems with many of these models (a problem that is not just restricted to transformer models) is that we cannot process long pieces of text. Almost every article I write on Medium contains 1000+ words, which, when tokenized for a transformer model like BERT, will produce 1000+ tokens. BERT (and many other transformer models) will consume 512 tokens max - truncating anything beyond this length. Although I think you may struggle to find value in processing my Medium articles, the same applies to many useful data sources - like news articles or Reddit posts. We will take a look at how we can work around this limitation. In this article, we will find the sentiment for long posts from the /r/investing subreddit.

We also find that text like this is incredibly common - particularly on social media. Another pain-point comes from diacritics (the little glyphs in Ç, é, Å) that you'll find in almost every European language. These characters have a hidden property that can trip up any NLP model - take a look at the Unicode for two versions of Ç: Latin capital letter C with cedilla: \u00C7 Latin capital letter C + combining cedilla: \u0043\u0327 Both are completely different, despite rendering as the same character.

2qJavL-VX9Y	UCv83tO5cePwHMt1952IVVHw	The NEW Match-Case Statement in Python 3.10	2021-03-17 20:37:52 UTC	2021-03-19 16:00:03 UTC	1088 seconds	Python 3.10 is beginning to fill-out with plenty of fascinating new features. One of those, in particular, caught my attention - structural pattern matching - or as most of us will know it, switch/case statements. Switch-statements have been absent from Python despite being a common feature of most languages. Python is leapfrogging ahead of those languages by introducing the match-case statement as a switch-case v2.0. Back in 2006, PEP 3103 was raised, recommending the implementation of a switch-case statement. However, after a poll at PyCon 2007 received no support for the feature, the Python devs dropped it. Fast-forward to 2020, and Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, committed the first documentation showing the new match-statements, which have been named Structural Pattern Matching, as found in PEP 634. Let's take a look at how this new logic works.

Transformers have been described as the fourth pillar of deep learning [1], alongside the three big neural net architectures of CNNs, RNNs, and MLPs. However, from the perspective of natural language processing - transformers are much more than that. Since their introduction in 2017, they've come to dominate a majority of NLP benchmarks - and continue to impress daily. What I'm saying is, transformers are damn cool. And with libraries like HuggingFace's transformers - it has become too easy to build incredible solutions with them. So, what's not to love? Incredible performance paired with the ultimate ease-of-use. In this video, we'll work through building a multi-class classification model using transformers - from start-to-finish. 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 Medium article: https://towardsdatascience.com/multi-class-classification-with-transformers-6cf7b59a033a Free access: https://towardsdatascience.com/multi-class-classification-with-transformers-6cf7b59a033a?sk=544872025c2283c54cf4294814b8cae3 Link to Kaggle video: https://youtu.be/DgGFhQmfxHo [1] Fourth Pillar of AI: https://ark-invest.com/articles/analyst-research/transformers-comprise-the-fourth-pillar-of-deep-learning/ 00:00 Intro 01:21 Pulling Data 01:47 Preprocessing 14:33 Data Input Pipeline 24:14 Defining Model 33:29 Model Training 35:36 Saving and Loading Models 37:37 Making Predictions	Education	264	1

Need to send mobile/email alerts? pip install knockknock - Build ML apps? pip install streamlit - Bored of your terminal? pip install colorama - It's too easy! I know this is obvious, but those libraries didn't magically appear. For each package, there is a person, or many persons - that actively developed and deployed that package. Every single one. All 300K+ of them. That is why Python is Python, the level of support is phenomenal - mindblowing. In this video, we will learn how to build our own packages. And add them to the Python Package Index (PyPI). Afterward, we will be able to install our packages using pip install!

In many languages, datatypes are explicitly stated. In these languages, if you don't declare your datatype - the code will not run. Type annotations have a long and convoluted history with Python, going all the way back to the first release of Python 3 with the initial implementation of function annotations. Type annotations in Python are not make-or-break like in other languages (like C). They're optional chunks of syntax that we can add to make our code more explicit. Erroneous type annotations will do nothing more than highlight the incorrect annotation in our code editor - no errors are ever raised due to annotations. So, if type annotations are not enforced, why use them? Well, as we touched upon already - declaring types makes our code more explicit, and if done well, easier to read - both for ourselves and others. 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 Read the Medium article here: https://towardsdatascience.com/type-annotations-in-python-d90990b172dc 📖 Here's a free link: https://towardsdatascience.com/type-annotations-in-python-d90990b172dc?sk=29bc29ab5478a842363963b421781b47 🕹️ Free AI-Powered Code Refactoring with Sourcery: https://sourcery.ai/?utm_source=YouTub&utm_campaign=JBriggs&utm_medium=aff 00:00 Intro 00:55 Datatypes Example in C 2:53 Static and Dynamic Typed Languages 3:47 Type Annotations in Python 4:25 How to Define Simple Types 6:04 IDE Warnings 8:20 More Complex Types 9:53 dict[str, int] 11.07 Multiple Types 11:38 Union Operator (Py 3.9) 12:34 Union Operator (Py 3.10) 13:21 Optional Operator	Education	132	3

We might want to extract the key pieces of information - or 'entities' - and categorize each of those entities. Like so: - Apple : Organization - 143 dollars : Monetary Value - this January : Date For us humans, this is easy. But how can we teach a machine to distinguish between a granny smith apple and the Apple we trade on NASDAQ? (No, we can't rely on the 'A' being capitalized…) This is where NER comes in - using NER, we can extract keywords like apple and identify that it is, in fact, an organization - not a fruit. The go-to library for NER is spaCy, which is incredible. But what if we added transformers to spaCy?

From there, we write a couple of lines of code to use the same model - all for free. BERT has enjoyed unparalleled success in NLP thanks to two unique training approaches, masked-language modeling (MLM), and next sentence prediction (NSP). MLM consists of giving BERT a sentence and optimizing the weights inside BERT to output the same sentence on the other side. So we input a sentence and ask that BERT outputs the same sentence. However, before we actually give BERT that input sentence - we mask a few tokens. So we're actually inputting an incomplete sentence and asking BERT to complete it for us.

Where MLM teaches BERT to understand relationships between words - NSP teaches BERT to understand relationships between sentences. In the original BERT paper, it was found that without NSP, BERT performed worse on every single metric - so it's important. Now, when we use a pre-trained BERT model, training with NSP and MLM has already been done, so why do we need to know about it? Well, we can actually further pre-train these pre-trained BERT models so that they better understand the language used in our specific use-cases. To do that, we can use both MLM and NSP.

It allows us to efficiently search a huge range of media, from GIFs to articles - with incredible accuracy in sub-second timescales for billion+ size datasets. The success in Faiss is due to many reasons. One of those, in particular, is its flexibility. Faiss recognizes that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' in similarity search. Instead, Faiss comes with a wide range of search indexes - which we can mix and match to our choosing. However, this great flexibility produces a question - how do we know which size fits our use case? Which index do we choose? Should we use multiple indexes, or is one enough? This video will explore the pros and cons of some of the most important indexes - Flat, LSH, HNSW, and IVF. We will learn how we decide which to use and the impact of parameters in each index to build some of the best indexes for semantic search. 🌲 Pinecone Article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/vector-indexes/ 🎉 Sign-up For New Articles Every Week on Medium! https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership Download script for Sift1M dataset: https://gist.github.com/jamescalam/a09a16c17b677f2cf9c019114711f3bf Similarity Search Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIUOU7oqGTLhlWpTz4NnuT3FekouIVlqc 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 👾 Discord https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP Mining Massive Datasets Book (Similarity Search): 📚 https://amzn.to/3CC0zrc (3rd ed) 📚 https://amzn.to/3AtHSnV (1st ed, cheaper) 🕹️ Free AI-Powered Code Refactoring with Sourcery: https://sourcery.ai/?utm_source=YouTub&utm_campaign=JBriggs&utm_medium=aff	Science & Technology	122	1

The solution to efficient similarity search is a profitable one - it is at the core of several billion (and even trillion) dollar companies. The problem with similarity search is scale. Many companies deal with millions-to-billions of data points every single day. Given a billion data points, is it feasible to compare all of them with every search? Further, many companies are not performing single searches - Google deals with more than 3.8 million searches every minute. Billions of data points combined with high-frequency searches are problematic - and we haven't considered the dimensionality nor the similarity function itself. Clearly, an exhaustive search across all data points is unrealistic for larger datasets. The solution to searching impossibly huge datasets? Approximate search. Rather than exhaustively comparing every pair, we approximate - restricting the search scope only to high probability matches. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/locality-sensitive-hashing-random-projection/ Download Sift1M: https://gist.github.com/jamescalam/a09a16c17b677f2cf9c019114711f3bf IndexLSH for Fast Similarity Search in Faiss: https://youtu.be/ZLfdQq_u7Eo 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Sign-up For New Articles Every Week on Medium! https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 🕹️ Free AI-Powered Code Refactoring with Sourcery: https://sourcery.ai/?utm_source=YouTub&utm_campaign=JBriggs&utm_medium=aff	Science & Technology	66	3

Realistically we wouldn’t use this because it is not optimized and we already have excellent implementations elsewhere. Instead, we would use a library like Faiss (Facebook AI Similarity Search) — or a production-ready service like Pinecone. We’ll take a look at how we can build a PQ index in Faiss, and we’ll even take a look at combining PQ with an Inverted File (IVF) step to improve search speed. Before we start, we need to get data.

Indexes containing 1M dense vectors (a small dataset in today’s world) will often require several GBs of memory to store. When building recommendation systems or semantic search engines, this is not acceptable. The problem of excessive memory usage is exasperated by high-dimensional data, and with ever-increasing dataset sizes, this can very quickly become unmanageable. Product quantization (PQ) is a popular method for dramatically compressing high-dimensional vectors to use 97% less memory, and for making nearest-neighbor search speeds 5.5x faster in our tests. A composite IVF+PQ index speeds up the search by another 16.5x without affecting accuracy, for a whopping total speed increase of 92x compared to non-quantized indexes. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/product-quantization/ 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Sign-up For New Articles Every Week on Medium! https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 🕹️ Free AI-Powered Code Refactoring with Sourcery: https://sourcery.ai/?utm_source=YouTub&utm_campaign=JBriggs&utm_medium=aff	Science & Technology	116	2

Using specific methods such as IVF, PQ, or HNSW, we can often return good results. But for best performance we will usually want to use composite indexes. We can view a composite index as a step-by-step process of vector transformations and one or more indexing methods. Allowing us to place multiple indexes and/or processing steps together to create our ‘ideal’ index. For example, we can use an inverted file (IVF) index to reduce the scope of our search (increasing search speed), and then add a compression technique such as product quantization (PQ) to keep larger indexes within a reasonable size limit. Where there is the ability to customize indexes, there is the risk of producing indexes with unnecessarily poor recall, latency, or memory usage. We must know how composite indexes work if we want to build robust and high-performance vector similarity search applications.

Although BERT and other transformer models have been pre-trained for a vast number of languages and domains, they do not cover everything. Often, it is these less common use cases that stand to gain the most from having someone come along and build a specific transformer model. It could be for an uncommon language or less tech-savvy domain. BERT is the most popular transformer for a wide range of language-based machine learning - from sentiment analysis to question and answering, BERT has enabled a diverse range of innovation across many borders and industries. The first step for many in designing a new BERT model is the tokenizer.

Applying fast-but-accurate filters when performing a vector search (ie, nearest-neighbor search) on massive datasets is a surprisingly stubborn problem. This article explains the two common methods for adding filters to vector search, and their serious limitations.

It sounds simple, and — to be completely honest — it is. All we need is an API. An API (Application Programming Interface) is a simple interface that defines the types of requests (demands/questions, etc.) that can be made, how they are made, and how they are processed. In our case, we will be building an API that allows us to send a range of GET/POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE requests (more on this later), to different endpoints, and return or modify data connected to our API.

Before transformers, we had okay translation and language classification thanks to recurrent neural nets (RNNs) — their language comprehension was limited and led to many minor mistakes, and coherence over larger chunks of text was practically impossible. Since the introduction of the first transformer model in the 2017 paper ‘Attention is all you need’, NLP has moved from RNNs to models like BERT and GPT. These new models can answer questions, write articles (maybe GPT-3 wrote this), enable incredibly intuitive semantic search — and much more. In this video, we will explore how these embeddings have been adapted and applied to a range of semantic similarity applications by using a new breed of transformers called ‘sentence transformers’. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/sentence-embeddings/ Vectors in ML: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIUOU7oqGTLgz-BI8bNMVGwQxIMuQddJO 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP	Science & Technology	188	1

This video dives deeper into the training process of the first sentence transformer, sentence-BERT, or more commonly known as SBERT. We will explore the Natural Language Inference (NLI) training approach of softmax loss to fine-tune models for producing sentence embeddings. Be aware that softmax loss is no longer the preferred approach to training sentence transformers and has been superseded by other methods such as MSE margin and multiple negatives ranking loss.

Starting with the slow but accurate similarity prediction of BERT cross-encoders, the world of sentence embeddings was ignited with the introduction of SBERT in 2019. Since then, many more sentence transformers have been introduced. These models quickly made the original SBERT obsolete. How did these newer sentence transformers manage to outperform SBERT so quickly? The answer is multiple negatives ranking (MNR) loss. This video will cover what MNR loss is, the data it requires, and how to implement it to fine-tune our own high-quality sentence transformers. Implementation will cover two approaches. The first is more involved, and outlines the exact steps to fine-tune the model (we'll just run over it quickly).

We can then use these vectors to find similar vectors, which can be used for many applications such as semantic search or topic modeling. These models are very good at producing meaningful, information-dense vectors. But they don’t allow us to compare sentences across different languages. Often this may not be a problem. However, the world is becoming increasingly interconnected, and many companies span across multiple borders and languages. Naturally, there is a need for sentence vectors that are language agnostic. Unfortunately, very few textual similarity datasets span multiple languages, particularly for less common languages. And the standard training methods used for sentence transformers would require these types of datasets. Different approaches need to be used. Fortunately, some techniques allow us to extend models to other languages using more easily obtained language translations. In this video, we will cover how multilingual models work and are built.

Whether in manufacturing, finance, healthcare, or almost any other industry, organizations have vast internal information and document repositories. Unfortunately, the scale of many companies’ data means that the organization and accessibility of information can become incredibly inefficient. The problem is exacerbated for language-based information. Language is a tool for people to communicate often abstract ideas and concepts. Naturally, ideas and concepts are harder for a computer to comprehend and store in a meaningful way. How do we minimize this problem? The answer lies with semantic search, specifically with the question-answering (QA) flavor of semantic search.

We can use datasets like natural language inference (NLI) pairs, labeled semantic textual similarity (STS) data, or parallel data (pairs of translations). For some domains and languages, such as finance and English, this data is fairly easy to find or gather. But many domains and many languages have very little labeled data. If you can find semantic similarity pairs for the agriculture industry, please let me know. There are many languages, such as Dhivehi, where unlabelled data is hard to find and labelled data practically non-existent. This means you either spend a very long time gathering tens of thousands of labeled samples or you can try an unsupervised fine-tuning approach. Unsupervised training methods for sentence transformers are not as effective as their supervised counterparts, but they do work. And if you have no other choice, why not? In this video, we will introduce the concept of unsupervised fine-tuning for sentence transformers. We will learn to train these models using the unsupervised Transformer-based Sequential Denoising Auto-Encoder (TSDAE) approach. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/unsupervised-training-sentence-transformers/ 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 Why Language Embedding Matters 05:12 Supervised Methods 05:29 Natural Language Inference 07:15 Semantic Textual Similarity 07:43 Multilingual Training 10:00 TSDAE (Unsupervised) 18:50 Data Preparation 29:05 Initialize Model 32:39 Model Training 36:25 NLTK Error 37:15 Evaluation 41:01 TSDAE vs Supervised Methods 42:42 Why TSDAE is Cool	Science & Technology	70	0

Despite the outward guise of simplicity, ODQA requires a reasonably advanced set of components placed together to enable the extractive Q&A functionality. We call this extractive Q&A because the models are not generating an answer. Instead, the answer already exists but is hidden somewhere within potentially thousands, millions, or even more data sources. By enabling extractive Q&A, we enable a more intelligent and efficient way to retrieve information from what can be massive stores of data. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/reader-models/ 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 Intro 00:13 ODQA Components 03:09 Data Preprocessing 22:35 Fine-tuning	Science & Technology	26	0

Bi-encoders (sentence transformers) are the current best models for dense retrieval in semantic search. Unfortunately, they're also notoriously data-hungry models that typically require a particular type of labeled training data. Hard problems like this attract attention. As expected, there is plenty of attention on building ever better techniques for training retrievers. One of the most impressive is GenQ. This approach to building bi-encoder retrievers uses the latest text generation techniques to synthetically generate training data. In short, all we need are passages of text.

On one hand, the internet is full of data, and, on the other, this data is not in the format we need. We usually need to use a supervised training method to train a high-performance bi-encoder (sentence transformer) model. There is research producing techniques placing us ever closer to fine-tuning high-perfomance bi-encoder models with unlabeled text data. One of the most promising is GPL. At its core, GPL allows us to take unstructured text data and use it to build models that can understand this text. These models can then intelligently respond to natural language queries regarding this same text data. It is a fascinating approach, with massive potential across innumerous use cases spanning all industries and borders.

Driving the charge in podcast adoption is Spotify. In a few short years, they have become the undisputed leaders in podcasting. Despite only entering the game in 2018, by late 2021, Spotify had already usurped Apple, the long-reigning leader in podcasts, with more than 28M monthly podcast listeners. To back their podcast investments, Spotify has worked on making the podcast experience as seamless and accessible as possible. From their all-in-one podcast creation app (Anchor) to podcast APIs and their latest natural language enabled podcast search. Spotify’s natural language search for podcasts is a fascinating use case. In the past, users had to rely on keyword/term matching to find the podcast episodes they wanted. Now, they can search in natural language, in much the same way we might ask a real person where to find something. In this video, we will take a look under the hood of Spotify's podcast search, and learn how to implement a similar system ourselves. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/spotify-podcast-search 🔗 Code and tests: https://github.com/pinecone-io/examples/tree/spotify-podcast-search/learn/search-in-wild/spotify-podcast-search 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 Intro 04:16 NLP in Semantic Search 08:35 Why Now? 09:29 Transformer Models 11:52 Sentence Transformers 13:12 Vector Search 15:56 How Spotify Built Podcast Search 17:35 Data Source, Fine-tuning, and Eval 22:58 Code Implementation, Dataset 24:44 Data Preparation 26:39 Query Generation 29:54 Fine-tuning a Podcast Model 41:40 Evaluation 48:05 Does it Scale? 49:00 Sharing Your Work	Science & Technology	58	1

fb7LENb9eag	UCv83tO5cePwHMt1952IVVHw	BERTopic Explained	2022-05-10 14:13:06 UTC	2022-05-11 15:10:23 UTC	2714 seconds	90% of the world's data is unstructured. It is built by humans, for humans. That's great for human consumption, but it is very hard to organize when we begin dealing with the massive amounts of data abundant in today's information age. Organization is complicated because unstructured text data is not intended to be understood by machines, and having humans process this abundance of data is wildly expensive and very slow. Fortunately, there is light at the end of the tunnel. More and more of this unstructured text is becoming accessible and understood by machines. We can now search text based on meaning, identify the sentiment of text, extract entities, and much more. Transformers are behind much of this. These transformers are (unfortunately) not Michael Bay's Autobots and Decepticons and (fortunately) not buzzing electrical boxes. Our NLP transformers lie somewhere in the middle, they're not sentient Autobots (yet), but they can understand language in a way that existed only in sci-fi until a short few years ago. Machines with a human-like comprehension of language are pretty helpful for organizing masses of unstructured text data. In machine learning, we refer to this task as topic modeling, the automatic clustering of data into particular topics. BERTopic takes advantage of the superior language capabilities of these (not yet sentient) transformer models and uses some other ML magic like UMAP and HDBSCAN (more on these later) to produce what is one of the most advanced techniques in language topic modeling today. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/bertopic 🔗 Code notebooks: https://github.com/pinecone-io/examples/tree/master/learn/algos-and-libraries/bertopic 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 Intro 01:40 In this video 02:58 BERTopic Getting Started 08:48 BERTopic Components 15:21 Transformer Embedding 18:33 Dimensionality Reduction 25:07 UMAP 31:48 Clustering 37:22 c-TF-IDF 40:49 Custom BERTopic 44:04 Final Thoughts	Science & Technology	153	3
O9lrWt15wH8	UCv83tO5cePwHMt1952IVVHw	Long Form Question Answering (LFQA) in Haystack	2022-05-17 15:22:17 UTC	2022-05-17 15:46:21 UTC	2159 seconds	Question-Answering (QA) has exploded as a subdomain of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in the last few years. QA is a widely applicable use case in NLP yet was out of reach until the introduction of [transformer models](/learn/transformers/) in 2017. Without transformer models, the level of language comprehension required to make something as complex as QA work simply was not possible. Although QA is a complex topic, it comes from a simple idea. The automatic retrieval of information via a more human-like interaction. The task of information retrieval (IR) is performed by almost every organization in the world. Without other options, organizations rely on person-to-person IR and rigid keyword search tools. This haphazard approach to IR generates a lot of friction, particularly for larger organizations. QA offers a solution to this problem. Rather than these documents being lost in an abyss, they can be stored within a space where an intelligent QA agent can access them. Unlike humans, our QA agent can scan millions of documents in seconds and return answers from these documents almost instantly. With QA tools, employees can stop wasting time searching for snippets of information and focus on their real, value-adding tasks. A small investment in QA is, for most organizations, a no-brainer. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/haystack-lfqa 🔗 Code notebooks: https://github.com/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/integrations/haystack/haystack_lfqa.ipynb 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 Intro 04:20 Approaches to Question Answering 05:43 Components of QA Pipeline 08:58 LFQA Generator 09:40 Haystack Setup 10:32 Initialize Document Store 13:02 Getting Data 17:53 Indexing Embeddings 21:51 Initialize Generator 24:10 Asking Questions 26:12 Common Problems 29:32 Generator Memory 31:30 Few More Questions 34:54 Outro	Science & Technology	55	1
uYas6ysyjgY	UCv83tO5cePwHMt1952IVVHw	New GPU-Acceleration for PyTorch on M1 Macs! + using with BERT	2022-05-22 16:37:37 UTC	2022-05-24 13:00:34 UTC	1140 seconds	GPU-acceleration on Mac is finally here! Today's deep learning models owe a great deal of their exponential performance gains to ever increasing model sizes. Those larger models require more computations to train and run. These models are simply too big to be run on CPU hardware, which performs large step-by-step computations. Instead, they need massively parallel computations. That leaves us with either GPU or TPU hardware. Our home PCs aren't coming with TPUs anytime soon, so we're left with the GPU option. GPUs use a highly parallel structure, originally designed to process images for visual heavy processes. They became essential components in gaming for rendering real-time 3D images. GPUs are essential for the scale of today's models. Using CPUs makes many of these models too slow to be useful, which can make deep learning on M1 machines rather disappointing. Fortunately, this is changing with the support of GPU on M1 machines beginning with PyTorch v1.12. In this video we will explain the new integration and how to implement it yourself. 📕 Article: https://towardsdatascience.com/gpu-acceleration-comes-to-pytorch-on-m1-macs-195c399efcc1 📖 Friend Link (free access): https://towardsdatascience.com/gpu-acceleration-comes-to-pytorch-on-m1-macs-195c399efcc1?sk=a88acd35f600858093c177b97d690b03 🔗 Code notebooks: https://github.com/jamescalam/pytorch-mps 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 Intro 01:34 PyTorch MPS 04:57 Installing ARM Python 09:09 Using PyTorch with GPU 12:14 BERT on PyTorch GPU 13:51 Best way to train LLMs on Mac 16:01 Buffer Size Bug 17:24 When we would use Mac M1 GPU	Science & Technology	115	3

Some of the most significant technological breakthroughs are integrated so tightly into our culture that we never even notice they’re there. One of those is AI-powered search. It powers your Google results, Netflix recommendations, and ads you see everywhere. It is being rapidly weaved throughout all aspects of our lives. Further, this is a new technology; its full potential is unknown. This technology weaves directly into the cultural phenomenon of YouTube. Imagine a search engine like Google that allows you to rapidly access the billions of hours of YouTube content. There is no comparison to that level of highly engaging video content in the world. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/youtube-search 🔗 Code: https://github.com/pinecone-io/examples/tree/master/learn/projects/yt-search 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 Intro 02:56 YouTube Search App 04:43 Getting Data 07:58 Enhancing the Data 12:45 Scraping Other Metadata 14:52 Loading Data from Hugging Face 15:42 Index and Query the Data 20:43 Streamlit App Code	Science & Technology	58	0

It serves your Google results, delivers the best podcasts on Spotify, and accounts for at least 35% of consumer purchases on Amazon. In this article, we will use vector search applied to language, called semantic search, to build a GIF search engine. Unlike more traditional search where we rely on keyword matching, semantic search enables search based on the human meaning behind text and images. That means we can find highly relevant GIFs with natural language prompts. The pipeline for a project like this is simple, yet powerful. It can easily be adapted to tasks as diverse as video search or answering Super Bowl questions, or as we’ll see, finding GIFs. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/gif-search 🔗 Code: https://github.com/pinecone-io/examples/tree/master/learn/projects/gif-search 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 Intro 00:17 GIF Search Demo 01:56 Pipeline Overview 05:33 Data Preparation 08:17 Vector Database and Retriever 12:37 Querying 15:42 Streamlit App Code	Science & Technology	20	1

We will also demonstrate how each of these metrics can be replicated in Python. Evaluation of information retrieval (IR) systems is critical to making well-informed design decisions. From search to recommendations, evaluation measures are paramount to understanding what does and does not work in retrieval. Many big tech companies contribute much of their success to well-built IR systems. One of Amazon’s earliest iterations of the technology was reportedly driving more than 35% of their sales. Google attributes 70% of YouTube views to their IR recommender systems. IR systems power some of the greatest companies in the world, and behind every successful IR system is a set of evaluation measures. 🌲 Pinecone article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/offline-evaluation 🔗 Code notebooks: https://github.com/pinecone-io/examples/tree/master/learn/algos-and-libraries/offline-evaluation 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 Intro 00:51 Offline Metrics 02:38 Dataset and Retrieval 101 06:08 Recall@K 07:57 Recall@K in Python 09:03 Disadvantages of Recall@K 10:21 MRR 13:32 MRR in Python 14:18 MAP@K 18:17 MAP@K in Python 19:27 NDCG@K 29:26 Pros and Cons of NDCG@K 29:48 Final Thoughts	Science & Technology	49	0
