Transduction and the inductive inheritance of transformers

The emergence of Automated Machine Learning (AutoML), meaning APIs in automated cloud AI platforms, has deeply changed the job description of every AI specialist. Google Vertex, for example, boasts a reduction of 80% of the development required to implement ML. This suggests that anybody can implement ML with ready-to-use systems. Does that mean an 80% reduction of the workforce of developers? I don’t think so. I see an Industry 4.0 AI specialist assemble AI with added value to a project.

Industry 4.0. NLP AI specialists invest less in source code and more in knowledge to become the AI guru of a team.

Transformers possess the unique ability to apply their knowledge to tasks they did not learn. A BERT transformer, for example, acquires language through sequence-to-sequence and masked language modeling. The BERT transformer can then be fine-tuned to perform downstream tasks that it did not learn from...
