You are invited to a training called Mastering Transformers: From Building Blocks to Real-World Applications, which the National Competence Centers in HPC of the Czech Republic and Turkey jointly organize. Mark your calendars for this online event happening on 11-13 September 2023.
For the past five years, the amount of transformer-based architectures has grown significantly and continues to dominate the deep learning domain. They can be considered another leap innovation that further pushes the boundaries in deep neural network performance and scalability. They have been demonstrated with the most significant models using over half a trillion parameters and scaled up to thousands of GPUs.
During this course, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of transformer architectures and their practical application in projects. The course will explore the advantages and disadvantages of these innovative methods in comparison to existing ones. Additionally, hands-on exercises will provide participants with ample opportunities to explore the various ways in which transformers can be used in multiple fields.
Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of Python. While knowledge of PyTorch and basic principles of deep learning and machine learning are helpful, they are not mandatory.
