Next-Gen NLP with Transformers: Practical Projects Using BERT, GPT, RAG, LoRA, Hugging Face & LangChain

Master the latest transformer models and build real-world NLP applications - step-by-step.

Are you ready to go beyond theory and start building cutting-edge Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems with confidence?
This hands-on guide walks you through everything you need to deploy, fine-tune, and monitor real-world transformer pipelines using today's most powerful tools - including BERT, GPT, RAG, T5, LoRA, LangChain, FAISS, and Hugging Face.

Whether you're a beginner, an ML practitioner, or a software engineer looking to break into AI-powered text systems, this book will give you the skills and tools to build production-grade applications from scratch.

What You'll Learn - Practical, Modern, and Actionable

Understand transformer models: BERT, GPT, T5, LLaMA, and more - explained clearly and practically.Fine-tune with LoRA: Apply parameter-efficient training to domain-specific tasks like legal text classification.Build RAG pipelines: Integrate FAISS or ChromaDB with GPT to create retrieval-augmented question-answering tools.Use LangChain like a pro: Create agents, prompt chains, memory modules, and custom tools.Deploy real apps: Use FastAPI, Docker, and Streamlit to launch apps on Render, Vercel, or GCP.Monitor and optimize: Track LLM usage, costs, and performance with LangSmith and PromptLayer.
