Foundation Models for Natural Language Processing -- Pre-trained Language Models Integrating Media

Understand

This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in research and applications of Foundation Models and is intended for readers familiar with basic Natural Language Processing (NLP) concepts.

• Over the recent years, a revolutionary new paradigm has been developed for training models for NLP.
• These models are first pre-trained on large collections of text documents to acquire general syntactic knowledge and semantic information.
• Then, they are fine-tuned for specific tasks, which they can often solve with superhuman accuracy.
