Who this book is for
This book is for anyone eager to learn about NLP through one of the most beginner-friendly, yet powerful, Python NLP libraries out there. The audience includes software engineering students, developers, data scientists, and anyone who is transitioning into NLP and is interested in learning about practical approaches to solving problems with Flair. This book, however, is not recommended for readers aiming to get an in-depth theoretical understanding of the mathematics behind NLP. Beginner-level knowledge of Python is recommended to get the most out of this book.
The book is also an opportunity for anyone hoping to start contributing to the open source community. You could fix bugs, create new tutorials, expand documentation, add support for new languages by building pre-trained models, or simply open new GitHub issues with suggestions about improving Flair. The knowledge gained by reading and doing the exercises in this book will help you considerably on your way to becoming an active Flair contributor.
