Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing

By: Karthiek Reddy Bokka, Shubhangi Hora, Tanuj Jain, Monicah Wambugu

Overview of this book

Applying deep learning approaches to various NLP tasks can take your computational algorithms to a completely new level in terms of speed and accuracy. Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing starts by highlighting the basic building blocks of the natural language processing domain. The book goes on to introduce the problems that you can solve using state-of-the-art neural network models. After this, delving into the various neural network architectures and their specific areas of application will help you to understand how to select the best model to suit your needs. As you advance through this deep learning book, you’ll study convolutional, recurrent, and recursive neural networks, in addition to covering long short-term memory networks (LSTM). Understanding these networks will help you to implement their models using Keras. In later chapters, you will be able to develop a trigger word detection application using NLP techniques such as attention model and beam search. By the end of this book, you will not only have sound knowledge of natural language processing, but also be able to select the best text preprocessing and neural network models to solve a number of NLP issues.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about how natural language processing enables humans and machines to communicate in natural human language. There are three broad applications of natural language processing, and these are speech recognition, natural language understanding, and natural language generation.

Language is a complicated thing, and so text is required to go through several phases before it can make sense to a machine. This process of filtering is known as text preprocessing and comprises various techniques that serve different purposes. They are all task- and corpora-dependent and prepare text for operations that will enable it to be input into machine learning and deep learning models.

Since machine learning and deep learning models work best with numerical data, it is necessary to transform preprocessed corpora into numerical form. This is where word embeddings come into the picture; they are real-value vector representations of words that aid models in predicting and understanding words. The two main algorithms used to generate word embeddings are Word2Vec and GloVe.

In the next chapter, we will be building on the algorithms used for natural language processing. The processes of POS tagging and named entity recognition will be introduced and explained.
