Chapter 2: Working with Text Data

 

Main Chapter Code

 

Bonus Materials

  • 02_bonus_bytepair-encoder contains optional code to benchmark different byte pair encoder implementations

  • 03_bonus_embedding-vs-matmul contains optional (bonus) code to explain that embedding layers and fully connected layers applied to one-hot encoded vectors are equivalent.

  • 04_bonus_dataloader-intuition contains optional (bonus) code to explain the data loader more intuitively with simple numbers rather than text.

  • 05_bpe-from-scratch contains (bonus) code that implements and trains a GPT-2 BPE tokenizer from scratch.

In the video below, I provide a code-along session that covers some of the chapter contents as supplementary material.
