News New Year, New Website! Our vision for the future of machine learning is one step closer to reality thanks to the 1,000+ researchers & open-source contributors, thousands of companies & the fantastic Hugging Face team! Last month, we announced the launch of the latest version of huggingface.co and we couldn’t be more proud. 🔥 Play live with >10 billion parameters models for tasks including translation, NER, zero-shot classification, and

de №11 Story Die Arbeiten im hiesigen Arsenal haben schon seit langer Zeit nachgelassen, und seitdem die Perser so sehr von den Russen geschlagen worden sind, hört man überhaupt nichts mehr von Kriegsrüstungen in den türkischen Provinzen. Die Pforte hatte nicht geglaubt, daß Rußland eine so starke Macht nach den Ufern des kaspischen Meeres abschicken, und daß der Krieg mit den Persern sobald eine so entscheidende Wendung nehmen würde. Alle kriegerischen Nachrichten, die wir jetzt aus den türkischen Provinzen erhalten, […]

Abstract Spark NLP is a Natural Language Processing (NLP) library built on top of Apache Spark ML. It provides simple, performant & accurate NLP annotations for machine learning pipelines that can scale easily in a distributed environment. Spark NLP comes with 1100+ pretrained pipelines and models in more than 192+ languages. It supports nearly all the NLP tasks and modules that can be used seamlessly in a cluster. Downloaded more than 2.7 million times and experiencing 9x growth since January […]

Abstract Since the popularization of the Transformer as a general-purpose feature encoder for NLP, many studies have attempted to decode linguistic structure from its novel multi-head attention mechanism. However, much of such work focused almost exclusively on English — a language with rigid word order and a lack of inflectional morphology. In this study, we present decoding experiments for multilingual BERT across 18 languages in order to test the generalizability of the claim that dependency syntax is reflected in attention patterns. We […]

Figure 1 shows a high-level outline of our experimental design, which aims to establish whether injecting structure derived from a variety of syntacto-semantic formalisms into neural language model representations can lead to better correspondence with human brain activation data. We utilize fMRI recordings of human subjects reading a set of texts. Representations of these texts are then derived from the activations of the language models. Following Gauthier and Levy (
