Hugging Face launches popular Transformers NLP library for TensorFlow

Maker of the popular PyTorch-Transformers model library, Hugging Face today said it's bringing its NLP library to the TensorFlow machine learning framework. The PyTorch version of the library has seen more than 500,000 Pip installs since the beginning of the year, Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue told VentureBeat. The Transformers library for TensorFlow brings together the most advanced Transformers-based AI models, like Google's BERT and XLNet, Facebook's RoBERTa, and OpenAI's GPT and GPT-2. It also includes Hugging Face's DistilBERT. Each of the models exceeds human performance and ranks atop the GLUE benchmark leaderboard.
