Transformer Models Overview

Transformers have revolutionized the field of natural language processing (NLP). This page provides an overview of various transformer models and their applications.

Models

• BERT: A pre-trained language representation model that has been general-purpose. It has been widely used for various NLP tasks, including text classification, sentiment analysis, and question answering.
• GPT: A transformer-based language model that can generate human-like text. It is used for tasks like text generation, machine translation, and dialogue systems.
• RoBERTa: An optimized version of BERT that has better performance on various NLP tasks.
• T5: A transformer-based model that can perform tasks like text classification, summarization, and translation without the need for task-specific pre-training.

Applications

• Text Classification: Classifying text into predefined categories, such as spam or not spam.
• Sentiment Analysis: Determining the sentiment of a piece of text, such as positive, negative, or neutral.
• Question Answering: Answering questions based on a given context.
• Machine Translation: Translating text from one language to another.
• Dialogue Systems: Building chatbots and virtual assistants.
