I’m grateful to share that Sameer Singh is hosting a course on Machine Learning for NLP at the Summer School on Computational Cognitive Modeling for Language Summer School 2022, hosted at UCI. The event starts on the 1st of August and runs for a week until the 5th of August.

During this week, we cover the basics of word-embeddings, tokenization, encoder-decoder models, as well as how these individual components affect the different NLP tasks. We cover the recent transformers-based trend and challenge students to find problems and limitations on the existing models.

My responsibilities include the creation of interactive notebooks. We use mostly HuggingFace and OpenAI APIs to interact with state-of-the-art NLP models. These notebooks were inspired on several other available blogposts and resources.
