Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore the use of APIs and audio to build Prompts and completions for fine-tuning Transformers. The tutorial will focus on using a news API with Python to extract news articles and create a data set that can be used to train and fine-tune models like GPT-3. We will also discuss how audio streams can be used to build data pipelines for fine-tuning.

What is a Prompt and Completion Data Set?

Before diving into the technical details, let's understand what a prompt and completion data set is and why it's useful in natural language processing. A prompt is the initial piece of text given to a model, while the completion is the text generated by the model. The idea behind prompt and completion data sets is to train models on a large data set of prompts and their corresponding completions. This allows the model to generate high-quality, coherent text that is similar to human writing or speech.

Using the News API to Create a Data Set

To create a data set for fine-tuning our models, we will use the news API. The news API is a web service that allows users to retrieve news articles from various sources. It provides easy access and processing of news data, which can be used to power applications, research, or analysis. In our case, we will use the news API to retrieve news articles and prepare them for fine-tuning a Transformer model.

Signing Up for a News API Account

Before we can start using the news API, we need to sign up for an account. Signing up is free for non-commercial use, but it's important to be respectful and ensure that our code respects the API's license agreement. This not only protects us legally but also helps maintain the availability and quality of the API for others to use. It's always a good practice to obtain legal advice if We Are unsure about specific situations.

Making Requests to the News API

Once we have signed up for a news API account and obtained our API key, we can start making requests to the news API. Python provides the requests library, which allows us to send HTTP requests to web servers and receive their content. In this case, we will use the requests library to send a request to the news API and retrieve news articles Based on specific categories.

Extracting Titles and Body Text from News Articles

After receiving a response from the news API, we can extract the titles and body text of the news articles. To do this, we will use the BeautifulSoup library, which allows us to parse HTML content and extract specific elements. Once we have extracted the titles and body text, we can store this information in a data frame using the pandas library. This data frame can later be exported to an Excel file for further analysis.

Storing Information in a Data Frame and Exporting to Excel

In this step, we will store the extracted titles and body text in a data frame. The data frame provides a convenient way to organize and manipulate tabular data in rows and columns. We will use the pandas library to create and manipulate the data frame. Once the data frame is constructed, we can export it to an Excel file using the built-in exporting capabilities of pandas.

Scaling Up the Data Set

While we have focused on retrieving a limited number of news articles in this tutorial, it is important to note that the data set can be scaled up easily. By specifying different categories or increasing the number of articles, we can create a larger data set for training and fine-tuning our models. The more diverse and comprehensive the data set, the better the model's performance is likely to be.

Using Audio Streams for Fine-Tuning

In addition to using text data, we can also incorporate audio streams into our data pipelines for fine-tuning. The internet is full of videos and audio content that can provide a vast amount of language-related information. By tapping into this audio content, we can give our models a more speech-like capability and enhance their understanding of spoken language.

Transcribing Speech to Text with Whisper

To transcribe speech to text, we can use OpenAI's Whisper module. Whisper utilizes state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to transcribe spoken words into text with high accuracy. It is designed to handle various types of audio inputs, including noisy or low-quality audio, and can transcribe speech in multiple languages. By incorporating Whisper into our data pipelines, we can process large volumes of audio data and extract valuable text information.

Building Scalable Pipelines for Video and Audio Data

To build scalable pipelines for gathering information from video and audio, we can leverage Python classes and modules. In this tutorial, we will make use of the Lucidate Text Splitter class, which allows us to break down text into prompts and completions. We will also explore the Lucidate Transcriber class, which integrates the Whisper module for transcribing audio streams. By combining these classes with modules like pandas and YouTube DL, we can automate the workflow and generate prompts and completions for fine-tuning our models.
