Fine-Tuning Models with HuggingFace

Fine-tuning is a crucial technique in transfer learning, where pre-trained models are adapted to specific tasks by training on custom datasets. HuggingFace provides comprehensive tools and documentation to simplify this process.

Key Concepts

• Pre-trained Models: Start with models like bert-base-uncased or gpt2 from the HuggingFace Model Hub 📚
• Custom Dataset: Use your own data for domain-specific adaptation 📁
• Training Loop: Implement with Trainer API for efficiency 🔄

Steps to Fine-Tune

1. Prepare Data
   Format your dataset as a Dataset object using load_dataset() 📦
   Example: from datasets import load_dataset; dataset = load_dataset("csv", data_files="your_file.csv")

2. Load Model & Tokenizer
   Use AutoModelForSequenceClassification and AutoTokenizer 🧠

   from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer
   model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased", num_labels=2)
   tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
   

3. Train Model
   Configure training arguments and run with Trainer 🚀
