Exploring NLP with Hugging Face and Foundation Models

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to leverage Hugging Face’s cutting-edge tools to build and deploy powerful Natural Language Processing (NLP) models using foundation models like BERT, Phi-3.5, and more. We will cover the key concepts of pre-trained transformers, tokenization, and fine-tuning models for tasks, including sequence classification.

Whether you’re new to NLP or looking to deepen your understanding of transformer-based architectures, this workshop will offer an interactive introduction to Hugging Face’s ecosystem. Participants will explore model inferencing, customizations, and practical techniques for efficient deployment.
