The evolution and limitations of traditional NLP models
Techniques like Word2Vec create semantic vectors for words, but recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that use them are slow, non-parallelizable, and domain-specific.

How BERT and transformers solve core NLP challenges
The BERT model, built on the transformer architecture, is domain-independent, parallelizable, and understands word context by using a masked language modeling training approach.

Building a character-level model with self-attention
A custom 'Artist BERT' model demonstrates how self-attention layers can predict masked characters in a sequence by understanding positional and contextual information.

Training a model to rank reviews with relative values
The review ranker is trained as a classification problem on pairs of reviews, forcing it to learn a scalar helpfulness value without being given absolute scores.
New TestThe basic purpose of narrative is to entertain, to gain and hold readers’ interest. However narratives can also be written to teach or inform, to change attitudes / social opinions e.g. soap operas and television dramas that are used to raise topical...
