Applications that leverage natural language processing (NLP) have begun to achieve close to human-level accuracy in tasks such as language translation, text summarization, and text-to-speech, due to the adoption of deep learning models. This widespread adoption has been driven by two key developments in the area of deep learning. One of them is the rapid progress in discovering novel deep neural network architectures, realized by the availability of huge volumes of data. Such architectures can achieve superior performance compared to traditional approaches. The other development is the increasing availability of open source tools or libraries, such as TensorFlow, which make easy implementations of these modern architectures possible in practical or productive applications. The purpose of this chapter is to equip the reader with a necessary basic knowledge...

Overview of this book
Natural language processing (NLP) has found its application in various domains, such as web search, advertisements, and customer services, and with the help of deep learning, we can enhance its performances in these areas. Hands-On Natural Language Processing with Python teaches you how to leverage deep learning models for performing various NLP tasks, along with best practices in dealing with today’s NLP challenges.
To begin with, you will understand the core concepts of NLP and deep learning, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), semantic embedding, Word2vec, and more. You will learn how to perform each and every task of NLP using neural networks, in which you will train and deploy neural networks in your NLP applications. You will get accustomed to using RNNs and CNNs in various application areas, such as text classification and sequence labeling, which are essential in the application of sentiment analysis, customer service chatbots, and anomaly detection. You will be equipped with practical knowledge in order to implement deep learning in your linguistic applications using Python's popular deep learning library, TensorFlow.
By the end of this book, you will be well versed in building deep learning-backed NLP applications, along with overcoming NLP challenges with best practices developed by domain experts.
