Python Natural Language Processing

Overview of this book

This book starts off by laying the foundation for Natural Language Processing and why Python is one of the best options to build an NLP-based expert system with advantages such as Community support, availability of frameworks and so on. Later it gives you a better understanding of available free forms of corpus and different types of dataset. After this, you will know how to choose a dataset for natural language processing applications and find the right NLP techniques to process sentences in datasets and understand their structure. You will also learn how to tokenize different parts of sentences and ways to analyze them. During the course of the book, you will explore the semantic as well as syntactic analysis of text. You will understand how to solve various ambiguities in processing human language and will come across various scenarios while performing text analysis. You will learn the very basics of getting the environment ready for natural language processing, move on to the initial setup, and then quickly understand sentences and language parts. You will learn the power of Machine Learning and Deep Learning to extract information from text data. By the end of the book, you will have a clear understanding of natural language processing and will have worked on multiple examples that implement NLP in the real world.

Summary

If you want detailed information regarding these frameworks and libraries, then you can use the Gitter room to connect with me, because in-depth details of the frameworks are out of the scope of this book.

This framework overview will help you figure out how various frameworks can be used in NLP applications. Hadoop is used for storage. Spark MLlib is used to develop machine learning models and store the trained models on HDFS. We can run the trained model as and when needed by loading it. Flink makes our lives easier when real-time analysis and data processing come into the picture. Real-time sentiment analysis, document classification, user recommendation engine, and so on are some of the real-time applications that you can build using Flink. The matplotlib is used while developing machine learning models. The pygal and bokeh are used to make nice dashboards for our...
