🤗 Education Toolkit

👋 Welcome!

We’ve assembled a toolkit that anyone can use to easily prepare workshops, events, homework or classes. The content is self-contained so that it can be easily incorporated in other material. This content is free and uses well-known Open Source technologies (transformers, gradio, etc).

Apart from tutorials, we also share other resources to go further into ML or that can assist in designing content.

3️⃣ Getting Started with Transformers

In this tutorial, you get to:

• Transformer neural networks can be used to tackle a wide range of tasks in natural language processing and beyond.
• Transfer learning allows one to adapt Transformers to specific tasks.
• The pipeline() function from the transformers library can be used to run inference with models from the Hugging Face Hub.

This tutorial is based on the first of our O'Reilly book Natural Language Processing with Transformers - check it out if you want to dive deeper into the topic!

Duration: 30-45 minutes

Our Teaching Guide: A Tour Through The 🤗 Hub & Gradio

In this video, Nate and Lewis give you a guided tour of Transformers and transfer learning, along with an overview of Hugging Face's open science efforts and tools that enable people to work collaboratively in their Machine Learning projects.

Other resources to learn your way!

The 🤗 NLP Course

We provide a course (free and without ads) that teaches you about natural language processing (NLP) using libraries from the Hugging Face ecosystem.

👉 click here to access the 🤗 Course

• Requires good knowledge of Python
• Is better taken after an introductory deep learning course, such as fast.ai’s Practical Deep Learning for Coders or one of the programs developed by DeepLearning.AI
• Does not expect prior PyTorch or TensorFlow knowledge, though some familiarity with either of those will help

The 🤗 Gradio Course

We provide a course (free and without ads) that teaches you how to build interactive demos for your machine learning models using libraries from the Hugging Face ecosystem.

👉 click here to access the 🤗 Course

• Its ultimate goal is to allow ML developers to easily present their work to a wide audience including non-technical teams or customers, researchers to more easily reproduce machine learning models and behavior, end users to more easily identify and debug failure points of models, and more!

The 🤗 RL Course

We provide a course (free and without ads) that teaches you about Deep Reinforcement Learning using libraries from the Hugging Face ecosystem.

👉 click here to access the 🤗 Course

• Study Deep Reinforcement Learning in theory and practice
• Learn to use famous Deep RL libraries
• Train agents in unique environments
• Publish your trained agents in one line of code to the Hugging Face Hub, and more!

The Sentence Transformers educational material

We provide several tutorials on one of the most powerful libraries for industrial and academic applications. Sentence Transformers allows you to create state-of-the-art embeddings from images and text for free.

• Introduction to working with embeddings using the Inference API and the 🤗 Datasets library (link).
• Interactive tutorial on Semantic Search (link).
• Share and load Sentence Transformers models from the Hub (link).
• Guide to start with your Sentence Transformers project (link).
• Sentence Transformers models and links in the Hub (link).

The 🤗 Book

Released February 2022

From experts at Hugging Face, learn all about Transformers and their applications to a wide range of NLP tasks.

👉 click here to visit the book’s website

• Is written for data scientists and machine learning engineers who may have heard about the recent breakthroughs involving transformers, but are lacking an in-depth guide to help them adapt these models to their own use cases.
• Assumes you have some practical experience with training models on GPUs.
• Does not expect prior PyTorch or TensorFlow knowledge, though some familiarity with either of those will help

The 🤗 Classroom

Classrooms provide teachers & students with dedicated collaborative workspaces to take advantage of Hugging Face resources in a more powerful manner than the average user.

👉 click here to create your 🤗 Classroom for free

• Empower your students with state-of-the-art resources: build machine learning applications with Hugging Face and collaborate with your students easily on all their datasets, models and ML demos hosted within your classroom workspace.
• Give your students unlimited access to modern machine learning tools: upload datasets, models and demos for free. Train, fine-tune, experiment and deploy, then share models and demos with the classroom or community, all hosted for free.
• Benefit from free advanced computational resources such as access to Accelerated Inference API. click here to enhance your Classroom
