In the workshop, we will consider some original approaches to building pipelines from text generation:

? lecturers will show you some interesting tricks with GPT2, XLNet, and other models;

? the workshop will be in interactive form with practical tasks that you will perform in Google Colab with the lecturer’s help;

? together we will consider the main approaches to text generation;

? we will understand how the results produced by different models differ;

? we will visualize the results for better understanding;

? we will collect own pipeline from pre-prepared components and dataset to generate text;

? As a result, each participant will have his/her own unique result and interesting experience.

 

The most creative participants will receive small prizes.

For the workshop, you will need: knowledge of Python, google account, google colab / jupyter notebook, knowledge of English — intermediate +.
