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 the concept of attention mechanisms. Based on attention mechanisms, several architectures have been proposed that constitute the state of the art in the NLP world. We learned about one specific model architecture to perform a neural machine translation task. We also briefly mentioned other state-of-the-art architectures such as transformers and BERT.

Up to now, we have seen many different NLP models. In the next chapter, we will look at the flow of a practical NLP project in an organization and related technology.
