Machine Learning Experts - Lewis Tunstall

Hugging Face · 4 years ago · 31

Lewis Tunstall, a machine learning engineer at Hugging Face, discusses his work on transformer models, his book "NLP with Transformers," and the free Hugging Face Course designed to teach developers about natural language processing. He has spent the past nine months at Hugging Face developing features that export transformer models to the ONNX format, allowing engineers to run models with faster latency and higher throughput in production environments. The course currently has two released parts with a third planned this year, expanding to cover transformers applied to audio and computer vision beyond traditional NLP tasks.
