How to build a transformer model for sentiment analysis (language classification) using HuggingFace's Transformers library in TensorFlow 2 with Python.
We cover the full process from downloading data all the way through to building and training the transformer model.
This is a multi-class classification problem using both TensorFlow and Transformers to build a multiclass sentiment classifier.

Article extract:
"High-performance transformer models like BERT and GPT-3 are transforming a huge array of previously menial, language-based tasks, into the work of a few clicks, saving a lot of time.
In most industries, the newest wave of language optimization is just getting started — taking their first baby steps. But these seedlings are widespread, and sprouting quickly.
Much of this adoption is thanks to the incredibly low barrier-to-entry. If you know the basics of TensorFlow or PyTorch, and take a little time to get to grips with the Transformers library — you’re already halfway there.
With the Transformers library, it takes just three lines of code to initialize a cutting-edge ML model — a model built from the billions of research dollars spent by the likes of Google, Facebook, and OpenAI.
This article will take you through the steps to build a classification model that leverages the power of transformers, using Google’s BERT.
