explosion/spacy-huggingface-hub: 🤗 Push your spaCy pipelines to the Hugging Face Hub

This package provides a CLI command for uploading any trained spaCy pipeline packaged with spacy package to the Hugging Face Hub. It auto-generates all meta information for you, uploads a pretty README (requires spaCy v3.1+) and handles version control under the hood. 🤗 About the Hugging Face Hub The Hugging Face Hub hosts Git-based repositories which are storage spaces that can contain all your files. These repositories have multiple advantages: versioning (commit history and diffs), branches, useful metadata about their tasks, languages, metrics and more, browser-based visualizers to explore the models interactively in your browser, as well as an API

Fine-Tune W2V2-Bert for low-resource ASR with 🤗 Transformers

New (01/2024): This blog post is strongly inspired by “Fine-tuning XLS-R on Multi-Lingual ASR” and “Fine-tuning MMS Adapter Models for Multi-Lingual ASR”. Introduction Last month, MetaAI released Wav2Vec2-BERT, as a building block of their Seamless Communication, a family of AI translation models. Wav2Vec2-BERT is the result of a series of improvements based on an original model: Wav2Vec2, a pre-trained model for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) released in September 2020 by Alexei Baevski, Michael Auli, and Alex Conneau. With as little as 10 minutes of labeled audio data, Wav2Vec2 could be fine-tuned to achieve 5% word-error rate performance on the LibriSpeech

How to Push to a Private GitHub Repository Using a Fine-Grained Personal Access Token

If you have an existing local Git repository and need to push it to a private GitHub repository, but GitHub is rejecting your credentials, you may need to use a fine-grained personal access token (PAT). This guide will walk you through the process step by step. Step 1: Generate a Fine-Grained Personal Access Token (PAT) GitHub has moved away from password authentication for Git operations, so you must use a personal access token (PAT) instead. 1.1 Navigate to GitHub Settings 1.2 Configure Token Permissions Repository Access: Select the specific repository you want to push to. Permissions: Under “Repository permissions,” set

Open-source LLMs as LangChain Agents

Open-source LLMs have now reached a performance level that makes them suitable reasoning engines for powering agent workflows: Mixtral even surpasses GPT-3.5 on our benchmark, and its performance could easily be further enhanced with fine-tuning. We’ve released the simplest agentic library out there: smolagents! Go checkout the smolagents introduction blog here. Introduction Large Language Models (LLMs) trained for causal language modeling can tackle a wide range of tasks, but they often struggle with basic tasks like logic, calculation, and search. The worst scenario is when they perform poorly in a domain, such as math, yet still attempt to handle all
