BERT And Transformers

Recent advances in information retrieval have shown promising performance gains by utilizing large-scale pre-trained transformer-based language models like BERT.
This training gives you a better understanding of how BERT works and how you can integrate it with your search architecture to improve your relevance.

It was a jump into the cold water but was definitely the right thing to do for me. The training helped me a lot to get an orientation where information retrieval and search are going. Antonio is a great source of knowledge and has a lot of experience of what works and what does not. Highly recommended!

Alessandro Benedetti

APACHE LUCENE/SOLR COMMITTER
APACHE SOLR PMC MEMBER

Alessandro has been involved in designing and developing search-relevant solutions from 2010.
Over the years he has worked on various projects, with various open source technologies aiming to build search solutions able to satisfy the user information needs, often integrating such solutions with machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies.

Topics

  • A bit of history (challenges with exact matching, Deep Learning, semantic search)
  • BERT and transformers
  • Model fine-tuning (pairwise learning, Margin-MSE aka DistilBERT)
  • Hands on Exercises: Fine-tuning with pairwise learning
  • Hands on Exercises: let’s start generating and using word embeddings
  • Hands on Exercises: let’s use BERT

The BERT and transformers training is available only as a private training. You can choose to ask for a live or virtual training.

The BERT and transformers training last 4 hours.

You will be able to ask every question you have during the training.
