Their popular web application, <a href=\"https:\/\/transformer.huggingface.co\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Write with Transformer<\/a>, can even take half-formed thoughts and suggest options for completion.<\/p>\n<p>Schleifer is currently at work developing models that are accessible to everyone, whether they are proficient coders or not.<\/p>\n<p>In the next few years, Schleifer envisions the continued growth of smaller NLP models that power a wave of chat apps with state-of-the-art translation capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Key Points From This Episode:<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Hugging Face first launched an original chatbot app, before moving into natural language processing models. The move was well-received, and last year the company announced a $15 million funding round.<\/li>\n<li>The company is a member of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/en-us\/deep-learning-ai\/startups\/\">NVIDIA Inception<\/a>, a virtual accelerator that Schleifer credits with significantly accelerating their experiments.<\/li>\n<li>Hugging Face has released over 1,000 models trained with unsupervised learning and the <a href=\"http:\/\/opus.nlpl.eu\/\">Open Parallel Corpus<\/a> project, pioneered by the University of Helsinki. These models are capable of machine translation in a huge variety of languages, even for low-resource languages with minimal training data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Tweetables:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re trying to make state-of-the-art NLP accessible to everyone who wants to use it, whether they can code or not code.\u201d \u2014 Sam Shleifer [1:44]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur research is targeted at this NLP accessibility mission \u2014 and NLP isn\u2019t really accessible when models can\u2019t fit on a single GPU.\u201d \u2014 Sam Shleifer [10:38]<\/p>\n<h2><b>You Might Also Like<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/theaipodcast\/ai-sarcasm\"><b>Sarcasm Detector Uses AI to Understand People at Their Funniest, Meanest<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Pushpak Bhattacharyya\u2019s work is giving computers the ability to understand one of humanity\u2019s most challenging, and amusing, modes of communication.
