Hi,

I would like to see the book with examples of QA, Text Extraction, Semantic and etc, using other languages besides english too.

Tks

Hello thanks for the comment! Given that the book has already gone to the printing presses I can't modify its current content beyond its current state. I will keep this top of mind, and will beef up the multilingual content in future editions. I did try to make it more multilingually focused than the typical book in this space - by providing a couple examples in African languages (which is where I am from, making it easier for me to construct relevant examples). We cover a variety of multilingual models - including mBERT, mDistilBERT - if you follow the recipe exactly as in the book with any of the 100 included languages as inputs you should get comparable results for that language! Thank you for checking out the project!
