Example Project: Sentiment Analysis with Transformers
This example demonstrates how to extend the base repository into a practical deep learning project using Hugging Face Transformers for sentiment analysis.
Objective
Build an AI model that:
- Receives text (via CLI, API, or notebook)
- Predicts sentiment (positive, negative, neutral)
- Uses a Transformer architecture (DistilBERT, BERT-base, RoBERTa)
- Is extendable for fine-tuning, evaluation, and deployment

Step 1: Dataset
Use a public dataset like IMDB or TweetEval:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("imdb")
print(dataset["train"][0])
Step 2: Tokenization
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("distilbert-base-uncased")
def tokenize(batch):
return tokenizer(batch["text"], padding=True, truncation=True)
dataset_encoded = dataset.map(tokenize, batched=True, batch_size=None)
Step 3: Model
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(
"distilbert-base-uncased",
num_labels=2
)
Step 4: Training (Fine-tuning)
from transformers import TrainingArguments, Trainer
import evaluate
accuracy = evaluate.load("accuracy")
def compute_metrics(pred):
predictions, labels = pred
predictions = predictions.argmax(axis=1)
return accuracy.compute(predictions=predictions, references=labels)
training_args = TrainingArguments(
output_dir="./results",
evaluation_strategy="epoch",
save_strategy="epoch",
learning_rate=2e-5,
per_device_train_batch_size=8,
num_train_epochs=2,
weight_decay=0.01,
)
trainer = Trainer(
model=model,
args=training_args,
train_dataset=dataset_encoded["train"].shuffle(seed=42).select(range(4000)),
eval_dataset=dataset_encoded["test"].select(range(1000)),
tokenizer=tokenizer,
compute_metrics=compute_metrics
)
trainer.train()
Step 5: Inference
from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("sentiment-analysis", model="./results/checkpoint-1000")
text = "I love this new project!"
result = classifier(text)
print(result)
Output:
[{'label': 'POSITIVE', 'score': 0.998}]
Step 6: Evaluation & Improvements
- Add metrics like F1, precision, and recall.
- Try different architectures:
roberta-base,bert-base-cased, etc. - Visualize learning curves or confusion matrix.
- Train on GPU (automatically detected by Trainer).
Step 7: Extensions
- Convert to REST API using FastAPI.
- Integrate into a LangGraph agent.
- Log emotional evolution in a database.
- Add explainability with SHAP or LIME.
Quick Demo
To test a pre-trained pipeline without training:
python -m src.main --text "I feel great today!" --model distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english
Understanding Transformers Internals
1. Introduction to Transformer Architecture
Transformers are a deep learning architecture designed primarily for sequence modeling tasks such as natural language processing. Unlike recurrent models, Transformers rely entirely on attention mechanisms to capture contextual relationships between tokens in a sequence, enabling efficient parallelization and improved performance.
2. Main Components
Embeddings (Token + Positional)
- Token Embeddings: Convert discrete tokens into dense vectors.
- Positional Embeddings: Inject information about token position since Transformers lack recurrence.
Self-Attention
- Computes the relevance of each token to every other token in the sequence.
- Uses three matrices: Query (Q), Key (K), and Value (V).
- Attention formula:
[ \text{Attention}(Q, K, V) = \text{softmax}\left(\frac{QK^T}{\sqrt{d_k}}\right) V ]
where (d_k) is the dimension of the keys.
Causal Masking
- Masks future tokens during training in autoregressive models to prevent attending to future positions, preserving the autoregressive property.
Multi-Head Attention
- Runs multiple self-attention operations (heads) in parallel.
- Each head learns different representations.
- Outputs are concatenated and projected back to the original space.
Feed Forward Network (FFN)
- A position-wise fully connected network applied after attention.
- Typically consists of two linear layers with a ReLU activation in between.
Residual Connections and Layer Normalization
- Residual connections add the input of a sublayer to its output to help gradient flow.
- Layer normalization stabilizes and accelerates training by normalizing inputs.
Stack of Blocks and Output
- Transformers stack multiple identical blocks (each containing attention and FFN layers).
- The final output can be used for tasks like classification, generation, or sequence labeling.
