Technical requirements

To successfully navigate through this chapter, certain technical prerequisites are necessary, as follows:

Programming knowledge: A strong understanding of Python is essential, as it’s the primary language used for most DL and NLP libraries.
Machine learning fundamentals: A good grasp of basic ML concepts such as training/testing data, overfitting, underfitting, accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score will be valuable.
DL basics: Familiarity with DL concepts and architectures, including neural networks, backpropagation, activation functions, and loss functions, will be essential. Knowledge of RNNs and CNNs would be advantageous but not strictly necessary as we will focus more on transformer architectures.
NLP basics: Some understanding of basic NLP concepts such as tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, and word embeddings (such as Word2Vec or GloVe) would be beneficial.
Libraries and frameworks: Experience with libraries such...
