In the previous chapter, we covered the basics of natural language processing (NLP). We covered simple representations of text in the form of the bag-of-words model, and more advanced word embedding representations that capture the semantic properties of the text. This chapter aims to build upon word representation techniques by taking a more model-centric approach to text processing. We will go over some of the core models, such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. We will specifically answer the following questions:
- What are some core deep learning models for understanding text?
- What core concepts form the basis for understanding RNNs?
- What core concepts form the basis for understanding LSTMs?
- How do you implement basic functionality of an LSTM using TensorFlow?
- What are some of the most popular...
