Choosing a model and an ecosystem
We thought that testing transformer models by downloading them would require machine and human resources. Also, you might have thought that if a platform doesn’t have an online sandbox by this time, it will be a risk to go further because of the work to test a few examples.
However, sites such as Hugging Face download pretrained models automatically in real time, as we will see in The Reformer and DeBERTa sections! So, what should we do? Thanks to that, we can run Hugging Face models in Google Colab without installing anything on the machine ourselves. We can also test Hugging Face models online.
The idea is to analyze without having anything to “install.” “Nothing to Install” in 2022 can mean:
- Running a transformer task online
- Running a transformer on a preinstalled Google Colaboratory VM that seamlessly downloads a pretrained model for a task, which we can run in a few lines
- Running...
