Get a hands-on introduction to Transformer architecture using the Hugging Face library. This book explains how Transformers are changing the AI domain, particularly in the area of natural language processing.This book covers Transformer architecture and its relevance in natural language processing (NLP). It starts with an introduction to NLP and a progression of language models from n-grams to a Transformer-based architecture. Next, it offers some basic Transformers examples using the Google colab engine. Then, it introduces the Hugging Face ecosystem and the different libraries and models provided by it. Moving forward, it explains language models such as Google BERT with some examples before providing a deep dive into Hugging Face API using different language models to address tasks such as sentence classification, sentiment analysis, summarization, and text generation.After completing Introduction to Transformers for NLP, you will understand Transformer concepts and be able to solve problems using the Hugging Face library.What You Will LearnUnderstand language models and their importance in NLP and NLU (Natural Language Understanding)Master Transformer architecture through practical examplesUse the Hugging Face library in Transformer-based language modelsCreate a simple code generator in Python based on Transformer architectureWho This Book Is ForData Scientists and software developers interested in developing their skills in NLP and NLU (Natural Language Understanding)

Journey into the world of Web3-based application development, its related protocols, and its usage in developing decentralized applications. This book will explain how programmable blockchains are revolutionizing the world of web applications, which can be run on decentralized platforms or peer-to-peer networks like IPFS.You'll start with an introduction to decentralization with a focus on blockchain implementations like Ethereum and Bitcoin. You'll then learn to develop simple decentralized applications (dApps) using Solidity, the language used for developing apps with Ethereum as well as smart contracts, wallets, gateways and NFTs. This book also covers how security and scale are addressed by L2 networks for scaling Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains. A Brief Introduction to Web3 is your go-to guide for setting up simple Web3 applications using the Ethereum blockchain programming model.WhatYou Will Learn Build NFT tokensExamine Web3 differs from Web2-based applicationsUnderstand the fundamentals of blockchain and the corresponding data structures around itSee how consensus and trustless computing can be performed using blockchain Use Solidity and Truffle to build Web3 applications Who This Book Is ForSoftware developers and architects who are looking to hone their skills in dApps and web3 applications developed on sound principles of decentralized computing.

Journey into the amazing world of WebAssembly (Wasm) and learn about how it can be applied on the cloud. This book is an introduction to Wasm aimed at professionals accustomed to working with cloud-related technologies such as Kubernetes and Istio service mesh.Author Shashank Jain begins with an introduction to Wasm and its related tooling such as wasm-bindgen and wapc. He then walks you through code examples using Rust, Golang, and JavaScript to demonstrate how they can be compiled to Wasm and consumed from Wasm runtimes deployed standalone, as well as on the cloud. You will see how a wasm module can be run through an http interface, and how Wasm fits into CNCF projects such as Kubernetes and Istio service mesh. After that, you'll learn how the polyglot nature of WebAssembly can be leveraged through examples written in languages like Rust and consumed via Golang and JavaScript, with a focus on how WebAssembly allows interoperability between them. You'll gain an understanding of how Wasm-based modules can be deployed inside Linux containers and orchestrated via Kubernetes, and how Wasm can be used within the Istio proxy to apply rules and filters.After reading this book, you'll have the knowledge necessary to apply WebAssembly to create multi tenanted workloads which can be polyglot in nature and can be deployed on cloud environments like Kubernetes.What You Will LearnUnderstand how Wasm can be used for server-side applicationsLearn about Wasm memory model and Wasm module layoutHow communication between host and Wasm module is facilitatedThe basics of Wasm sandboxing and securityThe fundamentals of tooling around Wasm, such as WAT and Wasm-packCreate a Wasm module in Rust and consume it from JavaScript, Rust and Golang.Grasp how Kubernetes can be used to orchestrate Wasm-based workloadsHow Wasm fits into service meshWho Is This Book ForSoftware developers/architects who are looking to hone their skills in virtualization and explore alternatives to Docker and container-based technologies for their workload deployments. Readers should have a basic programming background in languages such as Rust and Golang to get the most out of this book.
