Transfer Learning and Transformer Technology
摘要
Transfer learning (TL) is a widely used deep learning approach aimed at minimizing computational resource requirements. This chapter covers (1) a comparison of TL with traditional machine learning (ML); (2) recurrent neural networks (RNNs), a key component of TL, with a focus on core technologies such as long short-term memory (LSTM) networks and bidirectional recurrent neural networks (BRNNs) in natural language processing (NLP) applications; and (3) transformer architecture, including the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model, as well as related advancements like Transformer-XL and ALBERT models. Additionally, this chapter provides the conceptual foundation for Workshop #6—Transformers with spaCy and TensorFlow, discussed in Chap. 16 .
