In this 2-hour long project, you will learn how to analyze a dataset for sentiment analysis. You will learn how to read in a PyTorch BERT model, and adjust the architecture for multi-class classification. You will learn how to adjust an optimizer and scheduler for ideal training and performance. In fine-tuning this model, you will learn how to design a train and evaluate loop to monitor model performance as it trains, including saving and loading models. Finally, you will build a Sentiment Analysis model that leverages BERT's large-scale language knowledge.
Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:
Introduction to BERT and the problem at hand
Exploratory Data Analysis and Preprocessing
Training/Validation Split
Loading Tokenizer and Encoding our Data
Setting up BERT Pretrained Model
Creating Data Loaders
Setting Up Optimizer and Scheduler
Defining our Performance Metrics
Creating our Training Loop
Loading and Evaluating our Model
