"Almost everyone" working on NLP uses one of hugginface's pretrained models at one point or another, sooner or later: https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-transformers

It's so damn convenient, and so nicely done.

And they keep doing neat things like this one: https://github.com/huggingface/swift-coreml-transformers

Kudos to Julien Chaumond et al for their work!

For anyone else initially confused, NLP in this context is "Natural Language Processing."

> Swift Core ML

Why does he call them Swift Core ML? They are core ml, usable in swift and objective-c.

That repo is written in Swift, hence it is called Swift Core ML Transformers.
