Favorite Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) [1] has become one of the most popular models for natural language processing (NLP) applications. BERT can outperform other models in several NLP tasks, including question answering and sentence classification. Training the BERT model on large datasets is expensive and time consuming, and

Favorite A typical machine learning (ML) workflow involves processes such as data extraction, data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training and evaluation, and model deployment. As data changes over time, when you deploy models to production, you want your model to learn continually from the stream of data. This means supporting

Favorite The modeling phase is a highly iterative process in machine learning (ML) projects, where data scientists experiment with various data preprocessing and feature engineering strategies, intertwined with different model architectures, which are then trained with disparate sets of hyperparameter values. This highly iterative process with many moving parts can,
