Come and learn NLP with our Remote Study Group!
We plan to systematically progress through the course videos and notebooks of
A Code-First Introduction to Natural Language Processing 2019
a course created by @rachel Rachel Thomas, Director of the University of San Francisco Center for Applied Data Ethics and a founder of fastai
We’ll meet on Saturdays 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM PST, beginning on 12/14/2019. Start time in other time zones: 11:00 AM EST, 5:00 PM CET, 9:30 PM IST
Join the meetup on Zoom at the above date & time
We’ll use this Forum thread for discussions related to the course materials, and for meeting announcements.
For other announcements, and administrative matters (such as polls), we’ll use the #fast_ai_nlp
channel on the TWiML x fast.ai Slack Group, courtesy of Sam Charrington. To get an invitation to join the Slack Group, sign up here .
For reference, here are the important URLs for this course

I have never been able to really use the TPUs. Do we have to change anything in the code to make it run? Enabling it in google colab doesn’t work - I get a CPU like setup.

I don’t think PyTorch works with TPUs yet, although they are working on it…
