"If you’re a programmer and you’re curious to know what BERT fine-tuning looks like, my book offers an _example_. But 2018 was a long time ago. ChatGPT doesn’t rely on fine-tuned versions of BERT. The next section explains why."
This paragraph unfortunately may be misinterpreted to mean the authors book is from 2018 and out of date. Actually, his book was published a few months ago. The author here is referring to the publication date of the BERT paper.
- dsiegel2275 4y agoYeah I was misled by that at first too. I'll be picking it up, assuming that the book is as well written and clear and concise as that article.
- detrites 4y agoI've just finished Chapter 1, and I would say it is as good as the article. One caveat is that while the book claims it can be understood by a person who can't program, I'd expect them to feel rather mystified during the many coding parts. Even so, the surrounding text explains the code well enough it probably wouldn't impact a persons ability to understand the material being presented. It's not aimed at 5-year-olds but I'd say it's not aimed so much at the titles Engineers. One thing I've appreciated is the presentation of raw data. Every time a new type of data is introduced, the book shows its structure. It's been much easier to get what's going on as a result. Hope the rest is as good as the first chapter.
