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

Congratulations guys! We have made it to the last chapter! I really appreciate your efforts. In this chapter, you have learned a lot of things such as artificial intelligence aspects that help you understand why deep learning is the buzzword nowadays. We have seen the concept of ANNs. We have seen concepts such as gradient descent, various activation functions, and loss functions. We have seen the architecture of DNN and the DL life cycle. We have also touched on the basics of the sequence-to-sequence model and developed applications such as machine translation, title generation, and summarization. We have also seen the gradient descent-based optimization techniques.

The next sections are Appendices A to C, that will provide you with an overview about frameworks such as hadoop, spark, and so on. You can also see the installation guide for these frameworks as well as other...
