Transformers for Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision, Third Edition, explores Large Language Model (LLM) architectures, practical applications, and popular platforms (Hugging Face, OpenAI, and Google Vertex AI) used for Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV).

The book guides you through a range of transformer architectures from foundation models and generative AI. You’ll pretrain and fine-tune LLMs and work through different use cases, from summarization to question-answering systems leveraging embedding-based search. You'll also implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to enhance accuracy and gain greater control over your LLM outputs. Additionally, you’ll understand common LLM risks, such as hallucinations, memorization, and privacy issues, and implement mitigation strategies using moderation models alongside rule-based systems and knowledge integration.

Dive into generative vision transformers and multimodal architectures, and build practical applications, such as image and video classification. Go further and combine different models and platforms to build AI solutions and explore AI agent capabilities.

This book provides you with an understanding of transformer architectures, including strategies for pretraining, fine-tuning, and LLM best practices.
