About this course

The Hugging Face NLP Course is the definitive free resource for learning the Transformers library: loading pretrained models, tokenizing text, fine-tuning BERT and similar models for classification, NER, and question answering, and building production NLP pipelines.

Created by the Hugging Face team themselves, this course covers the full ecosystem — Datasets, Tokenizers, Accelerate, and the Hub — giving practitioners hands-on familiarity with the tools that have become the standard for applied NLP.

What you'll learn

Load and use pretrained transformer models for text classification and generation
Tokenize text correctly for different transformer architectures
Fine-tune BERT and other models on custom NLP tasks
Build NLP pipelines using Hugging Face Datasets and Transformers
Share models and datasets on the Hugging Face Hub
