Can't find bonus chapter mentioned in chapter 12 of the book

Chapter 12 of the book mentioned

Another architecture that is very powerful, especially in “sequence-to-sequence” problems (that is, problems where the dependent variable is itself a variable-length sequence, such as language translation), is the Transformers architecture. You can find it in a bonus chapter on the book’s website.

It links to https://book.fast.ai/ which redirects to https://course.fast.ai/
I checked Practical Deep Learning for Coders - The book and GitHub - fastai/fastbook: The fastai book, published as Jupyter Notebooks, and wasn’t able to find it.
Does anyone know where I can find the bonus chapter? Thanks!

An example of how to incorporate the transfomers library from HuggingFace with fastai

In this tutorial, we will see how we can use the fastai library to fine-tune a pretrained transformer model from the transformers library by HuggingFace. We will use the mid-level API to gather the data. Even if this tutorial is self contained, it might help to check the imagenette tutorial to have a second look on the mid-level API (with a gentle introduction using the higher level APIs) in computer vision.

Hi Isasc Fung

Try the Fast AI NLP course ( fast.ai - new fast.ai course: A Code-First Introduction to Natural Language Processing).
